Do men suffer as much as women over a break-up?

Tagged as: Breaking up<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (20 August 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 21 August 2011)
A female Spain age 41-50, *ennaHB writes:

How many of the men actually suffer after a break-up? I don't mean SHOWING that they suffer, but do they feel for example in the beginning that it seems life can't go on without the person they were used to be with every day? Does it still hurt to think of someone you loved A LOT 6 months or a year after you broke up, or knowing she has moved on?

Or it is as simple as: I can find myself another one, why suffer? And just move on.

Of course men feel break ups very deeply - when youre in love and the other person breaks your heart, it feels like the world has ended and you mope for months hoping she'll take you back - men have feelings too!

shawncaff agony auntI have wondered this the same from the other end: does the woman feel the same as the man after a break-up? I know my friends (male) were taken to pieces after their break-ups, but showed it in different ways. I think men mourn more solitarily, while women let out their pain by talking with their girlfriends. But yeah, men have deep feelings too.

humans are all the same on the inside. If you break a womans leg and a mans leg do you think it only hurts the woman? it feels like one hell of a stomp on the heart a kick in the ribs and a hard smack in the lungs.
