Breaking Up With Someone You Never Dated

Breaking Up With Someone You Never Dated

Breakups are hard as it is, but it gets more complicated when we are trying to move on from someone that wasn’t even our romantic partner.

An unrealized relationship is when we put someone on a pedestal, assuming that ours would be a great match. When nothing materializes and life takes a turn, it can be just as heartbreaking as a real romantic relationship and one can feel grief, sadness, rejection and disappointment.

One can fall for a friend who is dating someone else and does not share the same feelings. Office infatuation is common, often with people who are unavailable or unapproachable.

  • The first step to heal breakups of pseudo-relationships (or even imaginary ones) is to acknowledge that feeling.
  • The next step is to stop fantasizing about the other person, getting out of the dream world.

Breaking Up With Someone You Never Dated: Only The Pain Is Real

Even if the pain wasn’t logical, it is still pain. The need of the hour is to talk to your support group and cry if the need arises. If you need to go out, have some fun, grieve, sulk and simply express what you feeling, letting your heart out.

If talking isn’t your thing, you can put your feelings and thoughts in a journal, which is a great healing tool. If the person you have fallen for is your friend, you might want to move away from a friendship or take a break to allow your healing.

Your Own Inner Emptiness

Time can heal these feelings of imaginary love or infatuation, which is often unrequited. Such feelings are an indication of our own emptiness, as we try to fill the vacuum by allowing such emotions to take shape.

Professional counselling can help find the root cause of this loneliness that is causing such feelings, especially if it happens often.
