Guys Hurt More After Breakup

Men hurt worse after a breakup.

Hmmmmm.

When I saw this headline, my eyes immediately jumped in to read about research done by the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

It said the findings are based on the fact that men do not confide in anyone about their feelings while women do. The study made it clear that men don't necessarily talk because they don't have anyone to talk to. They just don't talk.

I have to admit that I talk myself through stuff. I have a few confidantes who I definitely reach out to when I'm feeling hurt, unhappy, disgusted all dat. Heck, I do not hold too much in. I am not trying to die of a heart attack or a stroke.

Any who.

After reading the article, I immediately think about the breakups in my life. The main one that comes to my mind is my marriage. Yea, that did hurt. And then I think about a few others.

A boyfriend in high school broke up with me because I wasn't active. I remember how this really devastated me. Man, I like him sooooooooo much, but not that much LOLOLOLOL

Then there was one of my boyfriends in college that came to mind. Yea, that hurt too. Probably because we spent sooooo much time together and it was so tough trying to get acclimated to not being with him. But whew, I am sooooo happy that we broke up. What was I thinking?

Interestingly, it seems women get accused of being bitter from hurts of relationships past.

Soooooo, who do you think hurts more -- men or women -- after a breakup? Why?
