136: Grieving a Friendship Breakup That Turned Romantic


Listen Later

Grieving the end of a friendship that turned romantic? This week I answer a listener question about the grief and confusion that comes when a close friendship becomes romantic — and then ends.

Whether you're experiencing a friendship breakup, a "friends-to-lovers" heartbreak, or navigating unspoken feelings, I offer compassionate advice to help you process the pain, find closure (even if it's one-sided), and validate your emotions.

🎙️ In this episode:

  • How to grieve a friendship breakup with romantic feelings involved
  • Why blurred boundaries can deepen the heartbreak
  • Self-blame, red flags, and learning to trust yourself again
  • Healing after queer friendships and relationships end
  • Tips for protecting your heart and rebuilding your social support
  • Unique challenges in queer friendships and relationships — and how to navigate them with care

🕘 Timestamps:

  • Intro: 05
  • Listener Question: 2:02
  • Outro: 25:33
