feeling almost stupid for hurting that much over a situationship. what helped me was letting myself grieve it without comparing the timeline to anyone else's.
do you think you're missing the person, or the future you started imagining with them?
i got over a years-long relationship faster than i got over someone i barely dated, because the short one left me with so many unanswered questions
its not that easy, because you imagine something else and also expect something else and its completely different
Situationships are tough. Cause you grieve the potential. "What could have been". Hurts even more if you are the one that messed it up. Like in my case, I pushed her away and away. Didn't show her affection, refused to receive affection since we both started saying that it was going to be only casual. 3 months is never going to be just casual. Plus, I did not talk to anyone else in that time period, so I messed up big. We live and learn tho, it is my first time on this planet too.
With long term relationships, you tend to grieve before the relationship ends. All the issues you try and work through, all the realisations that its not going to work. The relationship ends because you've tried everything and its still not working, so when it does end, there's a sense of freedom. With situationships, it hurts so much more because there are so many loose ends, so many what could have beens, a future that never happened. It makes us question ourselves so much more
because in a situationship, you haven't spend enough time with the person to really know them, you don't see their defaults, you mostly imagine a beautiful futur with them. you imagine the potentials of a relationship. but a full relationship, you know you lived it fully.
