# After rejection or a breakup — GEO

UW:GROW-082:en, r01. Local author master; production acceptance NOT_RUN. Exact original/GEO bindings: QA.json / DELIVERY.json.

## Audience and question

Parents, other caring adults, and young adults eighteen or over: which near-term action can help after a clear refusal or ending while preserving another person's boundary?

## Distinctions

Ended participation is no whole-person assessment. Decision, explanation, and agreement with explanation differ. Feeling may continue after permitted actions change. Returning an item and completing study work restore no romantic access. Privacy differs from refusing necessary protection.

## Available step

Name the known answer, continuing experience, and one actual task. Choose available help with food, travel, study, an item, or a safe conversation. Adults state their part and limit, then check delivery. Shared reading can remain fictional; no diary or personal account is required. There is no return-partner programme, compulsory friendship, or sadness deadline.

## Boundary

Threats, control, and stalking change the task: appropriate assistance with a safe route, urgent local help for immediate danger. A final meeting is no duty. A child is not responsible for an unsafe adult or the sole rescuer of someone threatening self-harm. Local legal questions and service access need separate checking. A request sent is not help received.
