re: #225 iceweasel

Couldn’t agree more. I can’t tell you how many people have said to me about one of their relationships “I need closure”— by which they mean something that the other person has to do for them.
Closure is something adults achieve on their own. By sucking it up and moving on. No one can do it for you.

Mostly what is meant is “I need you to go over it with me one more time, tell me again why I’m a loser and you dumped me, watch me cry, melt your heart, make you apologize and give me a hug. And now, can we start the dysfunctional, better-off-dead relationship over, pleeeeze?”
