Here are 14 methods for letting go and moving on from an unfinished relationship that has plainly ended. 1. The demand for a conclusion. You were the other half of that couple. As a result, you have the right to seek an explanation for its abrupt conclusion. Try persuading your ex to settle their differences amicably. If this fails, then file a lawsuit for damages. 2. Stop trying to change your ex. It may feel great to think that you could change your ex, but it's not going to happen. They've made their decision, and there's nothing more to say or do about it. Focus your energy on yourself by taking care of your needs and pursuing your goals. 3. Let them go. Even if you still love your ex, it's time to let them go and move on with your life. Sometimes we hold on too tight; we forget that others cannot be squeezed into our mold. 4. Give them space. Don't call or email constantly or show up at their house without permission. Give your ex some time to get over you before you start a new relationship. 5. Know what you want. If you're looking to find yourself another partner, then take measures to change your current situation. Work on yourself so that you're ready to meet someone new. 6. Change your perspective.
