Who Suffers More From A Relationship Break-Up - Men or Women?



Research has shown that unhappy romances cause men more emotional grief than women contrary to popular belief that women are the worst hit from a broken relationship. Young men and women express their distress after a breakup differently.  Women are more likely to feel depressed after a breakup and they will turn to friends and family for emotional support. While men don't discuss such matters among themselves, as they don't want to appear weak. Thereby bottling up their feelings because they have nowhere to go for emotional support- they find succor in alcohol and substance-abuse which results in negative health effects, including threatening their identity and feeling of self worth.

Do you agree that men suffers more from a relationship break-up than women?

  1. I don't agree to it,because m a living withness, n I have also withnessed when a guy breaks up with his spouse,women luv with their whole heart,even when she sees her bf sleeping with another woman it hurts her much buh when d man comes later to apologize to her she finds a place in her golden heart to forgive,but if its d other way round it ain't working ,so all m saying is that woman suffer more during breakups than men

  2. well it depends on who invested more emotions in the relationship. when i broke up with my 1st love, i felt like the world has ended. but then i have dated like 3 other gals and when we broke up, i didnt feel like it was a big deal. so wot u put in determines how badly u get hurt wen the relationship hits the rock.

  7. I sooo disagree with you,speaking from personal experience.am an ibo girl from imo state,serving somewhere in the west. some time late last year I stumbled on an old family friend who is also from the state where I serve,he's been asking me out since 2oo9,so I decided to agree to date him cos he wouldn't stop chanting about how much he loves me, when we started dated,I got soo inluv with him,that I would go to his house,cook,wash and the rest for him.it was like God created us specially for each other.I trusted him more cos he was more like a family.6months into our relationship,I lost my dad,he gave me a shoulder to cry on,do u know that 3days later,this same guy pinged me and told that his mum n cousins said he shouldn't date an ibo girl,and that he doesn't have a choice. he moved on immediately probably dating another girl already,cos the last time I saw him driving pass,he was nodding his head n singing out load to d music he was playing in his car, while am here soaking my pillow with tears,wondering if he really ever loved me. So I hereby say girls suffer heartbreak the most!!!

  8. Talkin frm experience, wen I had my 1st break up, I couldn't explain d feelin, ah was traumatized. Ah couldn't talk to my friends cos I'll jt be laughed at. So I had to bottle how I felt inside, it killed me, ah couldn't stop thinkin about her, d r/ship. Ah got over it after a couple of months,buh It left a scar.sometimes, I would Wish I'd get a knock at d door and wish she was d one or maybe a phone call or a text. Dis is always different witt d girls cz dey tend to talk to there friends about it without fear, dey get full support, dey let everytin go. Dats a plus. 4 them.

  9. Yes, unfortunately, men are more likely to suffer long after a breakup than women and this might result from the fact that men are not used to dealing with emotions, especially the negative ones. A breakup is usually treated as a failure and a failure is nothing to be associated with manhood

  10. I tink it depends on who invested much more, it cud b d guy ,it cud b d girl,for me as a girl if m not rily into u ,n yes we r dating, den we break up ,it wud affect me for a while den quickly fade off mayb durin a week or so,this is bekuz I'm not into the guy,but if I am into dis guy mite forgive him and never forget my entire life,because its not easy to love n dedicate ny heart to just one special person, I think in any relationship anybody is about to enter check well,prepare for d worst and expect d best,human beings are unpredictable! Dese pple dat tink its just d girls it affects more dats not rily true ooo,because hmmm,if a guy choose to love u and he break his heart, it won't just affect his well being but it affects even oda girls he will that will be yet to be hurt by him,it takes a Godfearing man and woman to keep calm and rely on God because Dr Td jakes says anything that left u was never attached to ur destiny,if ur tryna force dat tin ,its like ur tryna wake d dead, so my pple be careful!

  11. Well I think it depends on who is a lot more in love with the other and on who is more committed than the other in the relationship. The higher your hopes are up , the harder the fall if diappointed. The deeper u love your partner , the greater the hurt you feel after the breakup. It could be the guy , it could also be the girl.

  12. I think breakups come even depending how long a couple has been together.
    The longer the relationship the more hurtful it will become.
    personally i don't think either sex suffer more/less. i think it's all on the individual. obviously.....if you really like someone, it'll hurt more when it ends. Thank you

  13. It's really hard when i broke up with my cheating EX.I usually like to be a happy go lucky person,but after that day my life seemed over.I remain silent,less interested in any of the things around me,but realizing that he wasn't even worthy of my love still gave me the strength to move on.after going through hard times with his cheats and lies,feeling sometimes that i was wrongly accusing my man.thankfully my friend gave me contact to a reliable hacker who helped me hack his phone and exposed all that he has been doing behind me,this hacker gave me access to all his phone activities without touching his phone,only then was my doubt cleared, and i was able to strengthen up and move on...If your partners commitment is really in doubt,just contact' hackingloop6@ gmail . c o m' or text +1(712)292-2655,he is a legit hacker..There should be No reason to cheat,be it emotional or what-so-ever.
