Why is it so hard to let go of someone you never really had?

This video explores a deeply misunderstood form of grief: mourning a connection that never stabilized—whether it was brief, undefined, or even a long-term relationship that never truly landed. If you’ve struggled to move on from an “almost relationship,” an intense romantic connection, or a partnership that existed more in potential than in lived intimacy, this conversation is for you. We’ll talk about: Why intense romantic love can feel real even without longevity The difference between intensity and intimacy How the brain and nervous system bond to potential Why letting go can feel harder when there was no clear ending How to honor love without pathologizing your feelings This is not about fixing you or telling you to “move on.”It’s about understanding what your system was responding to—and why that makes sense. Journaling Prompts If you’d like to reflect after watching, consider these prompts: 1. What did this connection awaken in me? What parts of myself felt most alive? 2. In what ways was I relating to potential rather than shared reality? 3. What would intimacy have required that wasn’t available here? 4. What am I actually grieving—the person, or the unrealized relationship? Next Video In the next video, we’ll explore what intense romantic love does to the brain, and why these bonds can feel so powerful—even when they don’t turn into relationships.
