True. Sometimes they're not holding on to the person as much as they're holding on to the story they wanted the relationship to become.
And some people simply haven't found anything that gives them the same feeling again.
Which can make the past look better than it actually was, especially when the present feels lonely.
But staying attached doesn't change what happened.
Exactly. Sometimes the hardest part of moving on is accepting that wanting something back doesn't mean it would work if it returned.
I think closure also matters. Some people keep hoping because they never got the explanation they wanted.
That's true, although waiting for someone else to give you closure can keep you stuck for years.
Eventually, you have to accept what the relationship became, not just what it once was.
Yeah
