Can closure ever come from the person who broke your heart?

Photo by on

I wanted to let go.But within 48 hours of ‘the exchange’ of our stuff, he texted and asked to meet to talk.I should have said no. I’d seen enough, heard enough. But I couldn’t resist, because deep down, it was all I wanted since Winter Wonderland. I thought the talk might give me closure, help me understand, and even ease the hurt. I didn’t realise then that his actions had already given me all the closure I needed.Still, I had to go. Without this talk, I knew I’d always wonder.We met for lunch. He was late and on a work call, of course. I should have left, but I didn’t. I stayed. I waited, as I had done so many times before.He apologised. For what?For how he broke my heart, but not for breaking it.He admitted he tried to make it work but couldn’t. He knew I deserved better, but he wasn’t willing or able to give me more. He was overwhelmed by my love and scared by how good I was to him, so he ran.“You never told me… We could have tried together…”He said he tried on his own, that it is amazing being my boyfriend, that he kept asking himself, who wouldn’t want to be her boyfriend? She is amazing. She does things no one ever has done for me.He said he kept looking for a reason to end it, but I never gave him one because I was perfect.“No one is perfect… Stop saying that please, stop telling me that I am too much, that my love was too much, that I am perfect as the reasons why you are doing this… It hurts.”He admitted that at Winter Wonderland when he caught one second of negativity from me, ‘the snapping’, he took it as his ticket to exit.I sat in silence, listening again to the sentences that broke me into a gazillion pieces in Winter Wonderland like once wasn’t enough. I just am not madly in love with you. Lately, I just started to love you 60–70%, and that is not fair to me or fair to you…I should have left. Yet I stayed again… I tried explaining that love is a choice, it is an action. No one loves anyone the same way every day.He said I asked too many questions, that he felt smothered by my love, that it was too much for him, and that he couldn’t match everything I was doing for him and the love I was giving him. He said that he was stressed by my desire to spend time together… Things that should’ve brought us closer, he twisted into reasons to push me away. He said it bothered him that I wanted to spend every New Year’s Eve together (jokes on me we didn’t even get to spend one together. :) )… He said everything about me was making him feel like he was losing his independence and freedom.I again, for some reason, tried to explain… Rather than leave.“Do you realise all these things were because I love you… and all of these things you could have talked to me about? These are things I could have worked on… I asked a lot of questions because you were a closed book I knew nothing about you unless I asked… I wanted to spend every New Year's Eve with you because I love that night, and I love you. It has meaning for me it has my whole life. Someone wanting to be with you is something to be happy about, not something that you should use as one of the excuses to break someone’s heart.”Silence.Followed by some more made-up assumptions.He admitted he’d made up fears in his head to justify the breakup, things that never happened. He needed to believe those fears were real so he could abandon me without guilt.He gave me textbook sentences like ‘You deserve better. I just can’t give you what you need and make you happy…’I explained avoidant attachment to him, something I had started reading about even during the relationship. (The moment I realised he was an avoidant was the first time he stonewalled me, it was horrific. I had not even heard of that word before.)I explained how hard I was trying for him, that I had purchased so many books when I noticed his avoidant personality to be better for him, to understand what to do when he got triggered… I told him that everything he was saying to me, and even the blindsiding discard is in every avoidant book.It was scary at just how right I was, but it was what made it all the more painful because I knew he loved me, I knew it was his attachment triggers, the reason he thrashed our relationship…But he was right about one thing: I did deserve better. I deserved a better breakup, and I definitely deserved a better relationship with the right person. Not him.I told him he’d thrown away something great for basically nothing.He knew it was true. He was many things but stupid wasn’t one of them.“I can’t end this talk without just saying this one thing… That night, you said that you were unhappy… Just two days before Winter Wonderland, we booked Rome tickets; we made New Year’s Eve plans, you bought me flowers, we had sex all morning… if that is you unhappy, I don’t know if I want to know what you happy is…”I laughed because it truly is so crazy that it is funny. He also laughed covering his face in embarrassment.As we parted ways, he walked me back to my door. He leaned in and opened his arms. I stepped in and embraced his arms tightened around me. Tears welled up in my eyes. This hug was what I had longed for since the moment he broke my heart. I just wanted to feel him again, to reassure myself that a few pieces of what we had were real, not all an illusion.We stayed like that for a few minutes, just holding on.Then he whispered, “Okay…” and began to pull away. I let go quicker than him, determined not to cry in front of him ever again.Before he could go, I called after him. “You know, all those nights you made me feel so unsafe, so sad, so hurt… Yet despite you causing all that, it was your arms I wanted to run to. To be in your arms one last time. This hug is what I needed, what we should’ve had, it is how we should have ended. Our relationship deserved this. So, thank you.”He smiled.“So… can I finally discard your ‘initial necklace’? It’s time, isn’t it?” I asked.He laughed, but there was no answer.“Send me those articles about avoidants,” he replied as he walked away.Once again, he left the door open just a crack, leaving me confused… Discarding the necklace would’ve meant letting him go for good. He wasn’t ready for that either. But it messed with my head.Later that day, I opened a bottle of wine and cried for hours, the weight of the hug crashing over me. I missed ‘him’. The him I thought I had. The him I loved, he was gone. He no longer existed. Maybe never did. But that hug was proof that I didn’t make it up all in my head, that there was something real there. Even if just a tiny bit…

When I finally composed myself, I sent him the articles and videos. I also sent the wedding photos he wanted from the event we attended together.
He texted back, asking how my night was, and some more casual texts. It was clear: he was trying to linger, to stay in my life without effort or consequences.

I wasn’t strong enough to not answer, to ignore, to keep him away…

New Year’s Eve… Pain is all I continued to feel. Crying was a part of my daily routine. I couldn’t continue like this… I had to start the new year by getting myself back.I sent him one last text.

I can’t wait for midnight. I can’t keep hurting, hoping, wishing that somehow we’d make our way back to each other. It was my only wish to spend the new years with you, but since it won’t have you, it has to begin with letting you go. For what it’s worth, loving you was the best part of my 2023, and I hope 2024 is a year where all this makes sense eventually… A year where I can understand why... But till then, just know I really did love you so much, and I will for a while. But I need to slowly stop… I need to let you go. Happy New Year!

It was my final goodbye.

At midnight, he sent me a simple “Happy New Year” with two emojis.
That was it…

A broadcast text after I poured my heart out.At that moment, I knew it was truly over. He wasn’t going to come back, and I shouldn’t want a man like this to come back. I deserve someone good. I deserve a man who fights for me, for us. A man who puts in the effort and knows love is a choice. That loves me for being too much of everything good, that keeps me safer for it, that protects me because of it, someone that knows love is worth fighting for, that knows giving up on me and us is not an option. Someone who knows my love is special.Looking back now I did get my wish for 2024. I wanted to understand the why… And I do. I appreciate him freeing me because he wasn’t my one. He didn’t have any of the qualities I truly wanted. I had felt more lonely and unsafe in our relationship than I did when it ended.If you ask me what is the best and worst thing he did to me?

The best: The discard

The worst: His silence

Yet even though his silence was the cruellest thing he did to me, it is also what pushed me toward something far better, in fact, the best relationship I’ve ever had… A relationship with myself. And that relationship, built on proudly being too much of everything good, on love, respect, and care, is preparing me for the one that will last, with someone who is truly the one, who has all the qualities I want and deserve…

Every relationship goes through ups and downs, but what matters most is how you handle the challenges that come your way. When you and your spouse seem to be drifting apart, it’s not just about identifying the problems — it’s about making intentional efforts to reconnect and strengthen your bond. Whether you’ve been together for years or are newly married, getting back on the same page requires commitment and a few key strategies. In this article, we’ll explore ways to rekindle emotional intimacy and improve communication so that you and your partner can grow even closer.

The Foundation of True Understanding

One of the most important, yet often overlooked, elements in any relationship is the ability to truly listen. When couples aren’t on the same page, it’s common for conversations to feel like a tug-of-war, where each person is more focused on getting their own point across than hearing what the other is saying. This creates a wall, making it difficult to connect emotionally.To strengthen your relationship, start by embracing deep listening. This is about more than just hearing words — it’s about understanding the emotions, thoughts, and feelings behind those words. The next time your spouse talks, resist the urge to prepare your response while they’re speaking. Instead, focus entirely on what they’re saying. Acknowledge their feelings with verbal affirmations like, “I see where you’re coming from,” or “That must have been really tough for you.”The key to deep listening is patience. Even if you don’t agree with everything your spouse says, allow them to express themselves fully before responding. This doesn’t mean you have to hide your own perspective, but it means making sure your spouse feels heard before you offer your side. Once both of you adopt this practice, it’s easier to address issues together and foster mutual respect.

Expressing Feelings Clearly

Once you’ve honed your listening skills, the next step is to communicate more thoughtfully. Clear, compassionate communication can help diffuse tension and prevent misunderstandings from escalating. Too often, couples fall into the trap of reacting emotionally instead of communicating their feelings in a constructive way.Begin by expressing your feelings rather than making accusations. For example, instead of saying, “You never help me with anything,” try, “I feel overwhelmed when I handle everything by myself. Could we work on sharing the load more?” This small shift in wording focuses on your feelings and invites collaboration, rather than putting your spouse on the defensive.Tone is also critical. While it’s natural to feel frustrated or upset at times, yelling or using a sarcastic tone will only distance you from your spouse. Try to speak calmly, even during disagreements. By keeping your tone neutral and respectful, you create a safe space for open dialogue where both of you can discuss your concerns without fear of conflict.Additionally, make time for regular check-ins with each other. These conversations don’t have to revolve around problems — they can be opportunities to talk about what’s going well, what you appreciate about each other, and how you can continue growing together. Regular communication helps prevent small issues from snowballing into larger problems and allows you to stay connected even during busy times.

Offering Emotional and Practical Help

Marriage is a partnership, and one of the most important ways to strengthen that partnership is by being there for each other — both emotionally and practically. When you notice your spouse struggling, whether it’s with work stress, a personal challenge, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks, offering your support can make all the difference.Emotional support means being a source of comfort. This could involve sitting together and talking things through, or simply offering a hug when words aren’t needed. Sometimes, it’s about being present without trying to “fix” things — just letting your spouse know that you’re there for them.On the practical side, consider ways you can lighten the load. Is there something you can take off your spouse’s plate to make their day easier? Even small gestures like making dinner, doing extra chores, or running errands can show your spouse that you value and appreciate their efforts. When both partners consistently support each other in these ways, it fosters a sense of teamwork and mutual care.

Building a Collaborative Approach

It’s common for couples to face disagreements or challenges, but the way you address these issues together can significantly impact your relationship. Rather than approaching problems as separate individuals with conflicting goals, shift your mindset toward collaboration. You’re on the same team, and the goal is to find a solution that benefits both of you.Start by identifying the root of the issue. What’s really causing the tension? Sometimes, surface-level arguments are triggered by deeper feelings of insecurity, fear, or frustration. Take the time to dig a little deeper into what’s really bothering both of you. This might require vulnerability and honesty, but addressing the core issue is crucial to finding a lasting solution.Once you’ve identified the problem, brainstorm solutions together. Instead of pushing for one person’s way, try to create options that work for both of you. Compromise is key here. It’s not about one person winning or losing — it’s about finding a middle ground that allows you both to feel satisfied and respected.Remember, addressing issues together doesn’t always mean you’ll agree on everything, but it does mean you’re committed to working through challenges as a unit. With this mindset, you’ll strengthen your relationship by showing that you value the partnership and are willing to put in the effort to maintain it.

Prioritizing the Relationship

As life gets busy, it’s easy to let your relationship fall to the bottom of the priority list. Work, kids, household responsibilities, and social obligations can all compete for your attention, leaving little time for quality moments with your spouse. However, making your relationship a priority is essential for staying connected.Start by carving out dedicated time for just the two of you. Whether it’s a weekly date night, a quiet evening at home, or even a 15-minute walk together, these moments help you reconnect on a personal level. Put away distractions like phones or work emails during this time and focus on each other.It’s also important to have fun together. Couples often get stuck in the routine of daily life, forgetting to enjoy each other’s company. Whether it’s trying a new activity, cooking a meal together, or simply sharing a laugh, finding ways to have fun strengthens your bond and reminds you why you fell in love in the first place.

Building Trust and Admiration

Respect is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. Without it, even the strongest love can fade. One of the most powerful ways to reconnect with your spouse is by actively practicing mutual respect.Respect comes in many forms: respecting your spouse’s opinions, even when they differ from yours; respecting their boundaries; respecting their time, and their need for personal space. It also means treating each other with kindness, even during disagreements.Trust is closely tied to respect. When both partners feel respected, they are more likely to trust each other’s intentions and actions. Building this trust means being reliable, honest, and consistent in your words and behaviors.Take time to acknowledge the qualities you admire in your spouse. Often, in the hustle of daily life, we forget to express appreciation for the things that make our partner special. A simple “thank you” or compliment can go a long way in reinforcing the respect and admiration you have for each other.Reconnecting with your spouse doesn’t have to be a monumental task. By practicing deep listening, thoughtful communication, being supportive, addressing issues together, and prioritizing your relationship, you can strengthen your connection and get back on the same page.If you’ve found the insights and advice in this article helpful, and you’re looking for more guidance, then it’s time to take the next step. to access a valuable resource packed with practical strategies and proven methods to strengthen your relationship, enhance communication, and deepen your connection with your spouse.
