We’ve all been there. It’s late. You’re alone. The bed feels colder than usual. Maybe you’ve had a glass (or three) of wine. Maybe you just saw their name while scrolling through old photos you should’ve deleted months ago.

And then... the urge hits.
 You reach for your phone. Your thumb hovers over their name. Maybe you even type, “Hey. You up?”

Let’s pause right there.

Here’s what late-night texting your ex really means—and what it doesn’t.

Getting over someone you still love feels like trying to quit heroin with nothing but caffeine and Spotify. It’s brutal. It messes with your head. You wake up thinking about them, fall asleep checking your phone, and in between you lie to your friends about how “you’re totally fine.”

Yeah. Been there. More than once. Doesn’t matter if you’re a grown man in your 50s or a woman fresh off her first heartbreak—pain doesn’t care how old you are.

So let’s skip the soft, feel-good advice and get straight to it: how do you actually get over someone who still has your heart—even when you know they shouldn’t?dea.

We’ve all ignored red flags—sometimes because we didn’t recognize them, and sometimes because we hoped they’d just go away. (Spoiler alert: they don’t.)

Whether you’re freshly divorced, five years into dating, or knee-deep in your third “situationship,” these warning signs deserve your full attention.

Let’s break it down—no fluff, no filter, just real signs that you’re not crazy, they’re just not it.

Missing someone toxic doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re human. Here’s how to deal with the mind games and emotional hangover, straight up and unfiltered.

So… What Is a Situationship?

It’s a romantic connection that lives in the gray area.
Not friends. Not in a committed relationship.
It’s the in-between, the undefined, the “we’re just vibing” zone.
