It's commonly thought that women hurt more after a breakup. Is there any truth to this?

Drinking and talking to friends helps but right when you're alone it hits you like a rock

No matter how much alcohol we consume or how many other women we take to our bed, nothing on earth could rid us of the memories that plague our mind.

The best connection on why men would have a harder time with a break up is because there is no emotional support. If you show off your emotional/sensitive side to your family most likely they'll tell you to stop whining and man up. If you show your self to a female friend they will tell you how unattractive you're acting (and that's if they're frank with you). And guy friends don't even know what to do in a situation is right in front of them. Hopefully, there are a few friends that are willing to talk about the situation of a break up with full support with no awkwardness or uncomfortably.

Compare that to a women who are given full support with almost everyone and not be looked down upon by showing their sensitive side.

It's been 24 years, and the thought of her still stings my heart. I still feel like a golden opportunity for lifelong happiness slipped through my fingers. There aren't enough words to describe how much I miss her.

[RonanAquilius]

for a lot of men, their girlfriend or wife is the only person they can talk to about their feelings or other intimate/personal things that would be weird to discuss with other males. This might be a reason why men feel numb and take a lot longer to recover due to the lack of social or emotional support.

Almost 4 years and I still miss her. She was the first girl to ever like me back, when I had lost hope .

This has always been true, all men know that we can never forget our first ex, our belief in "love" also dies after the first breakup.

I found a girl who was definitely a “one” for me. The feeling was unlike anything else I’ve experienced. Being with her made me feel at peace with myself and with everything. She was the most beautiful person I’ve met. I screwed up and lost her. I didn’t know I could feel so miserable. The magnitude of the regret is unbelievable. I went over those events in my mind a thousand times. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to find another girl who makes me feel the way she made me feel. I’ll find her, or else die tired and alone. But, when I find her, I’ll make her my wife, and she’ll be the luckiest girl on Earth. I wish I could have given that to the first girl, instead of causing her pain. All I can do is move forward and create as much love and happiness in this world as I can in my lifetime.

It's because we are caught off guard with the breakup. While women have been planning to break up with you for months before she does. So she is damn near already over you when she gives you the bad news.

When i broke up with my ex. I lost around 180 lbs. Thats how much she weighed.

Men never get over break ups because we/males have to work harder to get into relationships in the first place

[Achilles]

I think women fall in love faster, but they also fall OUT of love faster.  Their attraction to a man is very much based on feelings and emotions, and these emotions can fluctuate wildly.  Men take longer to develop feelings, but they can stay on for a long time after the relationship is over.

[kuunami]

Wrong, men definitely invest more into a relationship. That's why getting over it takes longer. And women can find a replacement much easier then men can. In most cases they already have a replacement before the relationship ends

My ex broke up with me because she said i act like a kid 😭, then i stood up, wipe my tears and move over it.
On the next morning i went to her house 🏡 and rang the bell 🔔 three times and ran away 🤷🏾‍♂️

[misteremeal]

It's a sad day men, we just found out that women don't love us.

[DanielAlvarado]

[dharanisoundarapandian]

Never been through a break but this comment section breaks my heart. I hope y'all get better soon.

when ur ex Says she is too busy for a relationship but then goes with another guy after a week

[joshuadarden]

women can find a new relationship faster than men and have no problems moving on. it's played out like women are so emotional.. yet men are actually more attached when they really love someone
