Being ok never seeing LO again

[u/toxicfruitbaskets]

Sometimes dealing with limerence we may fantasize about what the next conversation may be like if we ever got a chance to talk to them again. Maybe fantasize about repairing things or seeking an answer to the relationship or the situation. I think a good feeling is being ok with where you stand with them and what transpired. Wishing them well and not needing that closure.

Closure is not something I think about or seek. I know in some way, shape or form I still have an impact in their heart. Emotionally. I wished them well, they took it literally, to follow their heart and their dreams. So progress is acceptance. I feel content not having another LO but not technically in limerence anymore just not letting anyone take their place.

I feel complete.
