How to Move on After a Situationship
It’s possible.
I wrote this a couple of years ago. It still holds up. Bringing it back for anyone who missed it — or needs it again.
Hi there,
Some of the worst emotional pain can come from a situationship (an undefined, intense relationship) ending. It’s a complicated kind of grief — and one that can reveal deeper wounds within us. Intense, short-lived relationships can leave us utterly devastated, just as much or sometimes, even more so than the ending of a marriage or a long partnership.
I want to talk today about the specific type of heartbreak that comes from ending a situationship, or any short-term and very intense connection. And, of course, I want to dive into the deep healing we need to do to move on.
