You can take the help of the below-mentioned ways to do when your ex is not providing you a closure:

  • You directly need to contact them because it’s their choice and honestly, you can’t do anything about it.
  • You can also start finding it yourself since it is essential for you to move on.
  • Stop blaming yourself, self-forgive,and prepare yourself for a future relationship.
  • Start taking care of yourself and avoid thinking about them.
  • Distance yourself from the people and things related toyour ex.
  • Try to practice forgiveness and start being grateful as you automatically got out of a toxic relationship or person.

Ways to Seek Closure in a Relationship

Clearly, getting closure is a mutual thing, our ex has to give closure and we need to accept what went wrong. Therefore, if you want to seek closure in a relationship, you can try these below-mentioned ways:

Call or text them

While calling them can be a strenuous task, you must call them in a positive way, keep aside your negative emotions, and directly ask them to provide a closure so that you can speed up your recovery or healing process.

Accept and move on!

Acceptance should be your first handy thing because without accepting your mistakes, feelings, and emotions you won’t be able to move on! Therefore, stop holding on to hope and accept.

Maintain distance and cut communication

After getting closure, stop talking to them and avoid places or things related to their memories. By developing such actions, you will be able to accept the closure and will be able to move on.

Seek support

If after getting a closure, it is getting hard to accept, you can always seek the help of a professional mental health provider. It will help in developing healthy coping skills and will help in removing negative thoughts from your life. With the guidance of a mental health professional, you will also be able to prepare yourself for the future.

Sometimes, after getting closure, we start feeling empty and hopeless. Please understand that it is completely okay to be single than to live in a toxic relationship. Don’t hold any grudges against your partner, wish well for them, and move on!
