Seeking post break-up closure might not be the best idea

A break up does not just end the relationship, it also puts a pause on your otherwise usual life and pushes you towards a journey of self-interrogation. Especially if you are not the one who initiated (or expected) the break up. So its over, but you are left with a lots of ‘Whys’ that stick to you and feed on your brain like a tick, an itch that you have to scratch.

So you seek closure, you ask your partner why this and why now, what exactly did you do wrong. But does it matter and is it healthy, we have reasons proving otherwise.

There is a strong chance that your ex may not give you the correct reason at all. So give it a rest, focus on yourself and not on what a person who used to be in your life thought about you. If your ex chose to end it, then respect the decision and move on.
