I have no idea, but from what I have seen females find it a lot easier to move on (or monkey branch sometimes) to a new male.
My first serious girlfriend broke my heart in a vicious way when I was 21. I have been psychologically incapable of loving anyone since then.
I hate it when they do that.
everyone is different.
my friend curled up in a ball and cried on his bed. my other friend wanted to call in sick for work because it hurt too much. another friend said whatever and wanted to play laser tag.
i think it's more about the individual than the gender. i know for me the pain of a break up hits fast
This is true. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we broke up. He moved out and he went to concerts, went to play video games and hang out with friends. For the first 2 months he was like that, meanwhile I was crying myself to sleep and I was so sad. Finally, after 2 months he started to try and get back together telling me how sad he is, crying etc...
Meanwhile I was starting to move on. We got back together and it was a big mistake
The partner who was dumped feels more pain. The partner who initiated the breakup feels some pain but mostly relief.
No, we feel it the same. What's different is how guys handle it. We are taught and programmed to not show emotion (it's not "manly"), so when women think guys don't care, he probably does, he's just not showing it on the outside.
I always wondered this. I do believe that they feel pain but are quick to move on and avoid feeling that pain.
The ones that truly care for you will all ways hurt. Takes a lot for a man to commit. Most of them don't know the meaning of commitment. But we are out there. Figured out I hadn't gone on date since 2015 Valentine's Day. Ex left that day. I still think about here everyday. It just becomes a piece of me.
Both yes and no. They do feel pain for longer, if they feel pain at all. Some don't love their girlfriend the same ways some gfs don't love their boyfriend (s). But generally, yes, if he does feel pain, it's more likely to last longer.
Hard to say - the girls I broke up with I didn't know for that long or care that much to be hurt. Haven't broken up a serious relationship yet.
I think that is true. More times than not, I'll initially fight to keep the relationship but get nowhere and give up. It is only then that the guys start calling again.
Hmm, I dunno, I haven't talked to my exes about this. I think generally the trend for the woman/myself is true. At first I'm really sad, but later, freedom!!!
When my fiance left me the pain stuck with me for years... I think it's situational based, and depending on whether or not he loved his girl, or just had lust for her
There's no rule for that. People feel pain in different ways.
Everyone feels pain. At the same time, everyone is different. For me, I felt the pain of a breakup and still do! Its been more than 3 years since we broke up. And there is nothing to date which can bring me back to my 'normal' state. It was because of that first break up that I struggle to trust nowadays...
that depends on the guy. I would feel like crap fist then later feel better. if the guy dumped her than he might fit the stereo type in this picture.
I felt sweet relief after shattering my chains. I only felt bad for my former-partner because she didn't experience the same feeling upon regaining freedom.
I think it depends on who does the breaking.
It's different with everyone since we process things differently
Really it varries men sometimes are better and other times women are it really depends how much emotion you had invested. In the relationship.
The graphic just demonstrates how it is easier for women to move on, generally because their attachments are a lot more shallow and replacements easy to come by.
This isn't true, its been two and a half months since my boyfriend broke up with me and i still don't even enjoy flirting with anyone else. Sadly he's still stuck in my head, he had no emotion to the break up even after all we'd been through, he said i love you to me first and made my guard fall, and then claimed that he just didn't want a relationship anymore and that id done nothing wrong. He seemed to switch off all emotion, leaving me to cry while he spoke to me as if it were a casual conversation. So i do believe that girls can hurt faster and for longer than men. But every situation is different
