Closure on a crush

30 replies

Just need a bit of support/straight talking as I move on from a crush that’s been part of my life for a good few years.

Usual story - work colleagues etc etc. I’m leaving the job now and so unlikely to see him again, if ever.

I just feel really sad about it, and quite a sense of loss. I know the shitty feelings won’t last, but when you’re on the ‘before’ side it’s hard to feel positive about ‘after’.

I can rationalise it that it’s about dopamine and this that and the other, but ultimately I’m going to miss him. It was/is mutual but we’re both married so it’s right to be moving on.

And it’s all so silly. I have so many lovely friends, I really shouldn’t feel that he‘ll leave a gap. But I do feel like that.

Anything, at all, I can do to speed up the process of getting over this?

I had a huge crush on someone at work, nothing happened but was surprisingly intense- didn't see him for about 18 months- when I saw him feelings had completely gone, helped by a rather nasty beard he had grown

Yeah, beards ruin things for me as well!

A good chance for the OP to come back and tell us how it panned out!
