[quote=Anonymous]Maybe I'm alone in this, but I think closure is something you give yourself, except in cases of say, crime/finding a missing person. I also think people confuse having closure with being over someone.

Unless it's something concrete like - "you don't want kids and I do" even when breakups do have answers, they are rarely satisfactory to the party that doesn't want to break up. "I just don't feel like this has long-term potential" leads to questions the dumper can't often answer about why they don't feel that way, etc. It usually isn't anything the dumper can explain or articulate well - they don't know why they might feel the way they do - everything could be great on paper - but they just don't feel that way.

I think closure is what you give yourself when you acknowledge that you tried your hardest (as it sounds like OP did) and it still didn't work out, and you give yourself permission to move on.

The fact that you haven't met anyone who you feel the same way about doesn't mean you don't have closure, it just means that either a) you haven't met someone you have that connection with yet or b) you aren't over the last person or c) both. [/quote]
