You've known for weeks. Maybe months. The relationship is over — but you keep waking up next to them, performing normalcy, waiting for a certainty that already arrived.
They're angry. Or crying. Or terrifyingly calm. Your job right now isn't to make them feel better — it's to hold steady through their reaction without retreating into false hope.
It's done. The door closed. Closure isn't a conversation — it's the months after, the new silence, the slow process of becoming a person who used to be in this relationship.
