Why do people lash out during a break up?

Break Up & Divorce

When my ex broke up with me he kind of lashed out and said mean things which really hurt me. Do you think he meant them or was just emotional? The next day when he met up he apologized for lashing out he didn't mean to do that he was just frustrasted. I still can't forget someone of the things he said though. It takes away from all our good times and good memories in my head.

depends on the person, i know people the that just cry and cry, but i think the reason people do it is because they are hurt by that someone, they have revolved their lives around them and now they aren't going to be there anymore, it's like a pet, at first you may not love them as much but you are happy with what's come from it, then you grow fond of it but when it dies you now have to fill that gap that Ur pet filled

  But he was the one that broke up with me and said mean things. No cheating or anything like that just personality differences. We also had a lot to drink that night and emotions were running high. The next day he said he really didn't mean to lash out and he doesn't talk to women like that

  i know people lash out and say things when they are mean and hurt. It's just hard to forget. The next day he broke up with me in a more respectable way. Was calm and understanding and sympathetic

  I know I just need to forgive and move on. We all say things we don't mean. And it shouldn't ruin the memories of our good times

  Yeah I think he thought she wasn't pretty! You need to move on from a shitty boy who did shitty things and not doubt yourself over it! All I was saying tho is while he said she wasn't that pretty the way that's worded... he made no comments about u!
