Why men hurt more than women after breakups

               

               
           
               
                   

The end of a relationship is never fair on anyone. Men hurt, women hurt when the familiar feeling of happiness is suddenly snatched from them due to a breakup. Even when the breakup is expected, the grieving process often still plays out.

               
           
               
                   

A British study, reported here, has claimed that men suffer more long-lasting pain from breakups than women. The question that naturally follows this is: why is this so? How and why are men hurting more when it is they who usually seem to move on from breakups faster and more painlessly?

Moreover, [men’s] methods for dealing with changed circumstances are not always helpful."

A 2015 survey by Men's Health magazine backs up this statement. Conductors of the survey found out that going to the pub was named the best way to "get over" a split according to while one third of those polled said the jilted party would be better off if he acts unbothered by the whole thing.
