I do think it's important to look at the global landscape of not just the relationship and where it's at when it's ending or transitioning, but also the individual.

And what I mean by that is, I think if you are in a situation where there is the potential still for feelings involved, that just saying the word de-escalation

is going to cause that other person to hold on to the potential of the two of you getting back

together at some point, maybe take some time away from the relationship to let those feelings

settle and to let that person move on. Because if they're still

in that situation and you're not, like if they're still in that mindset and you are not, then it can

just kind of be like you're dangling a carrot on a stick in front of them and that they are

thinking that hopefully eventually you two are going to get back together.

as well as some nuance that maybe we're still missing,

that would help us to make more informed decisions

if we want to more consciously change our relationships with other people

in the healthiest possible
