Preface
She wasnt exactly sure when it happened. Or even when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now, she was falling hard and she could only pray that he was feeling the same way. - Nicholas Sparks
Falling in love is something natural to human beings. We fall in love without hesitation, just like a child who jumps at everything, unaware of any danger within. Love is the most powerful feeling in the world. When we are in love, it is as if our entire world has changed overnight for the better. Indeed, love is so potent that it is able to make us do unimaginable things, just to maintain this alternate reality even a little longer.
Sometimes, however, love doesn't last forever. Just like how we involuntarily fall in love, we also involuntarily fall out of love. And when one party falls out of love, the other party will have their love forcefully taken away from them. This is when heartbreak occurs; it is no wonder that it hurts.
They say that when a heart breaks it don't breakeven.
There may be truth in this statement, as some have suggested that men aren't as affected by breakups as women. However, a recent study may prove that it is not that men aren't fazed by breakups, but rather that men simply handle breakups differently. In the study conducted by Binghamton University and University College London, 5,707 men and women with an average age of just under 27-years-old were surveyed. The study concluded that while women experience more emotional extremes in the aftermath of a breakup, men take longer to recover.
According to the study, men do not take the time to process their feelings and reflect on the part they played in the relationship's demise, but instead simply move on to the next partner. The study suggested that this behavior stems from our ancestors. From an evolutionary perspective, men are more likely to date
on the rebound because they view the attention of women as a limited resources.
However, this attitude is little more than a distraction tool for men. It simply takes men longer to realize what they have lost, especially if they just lost a good relationship.
In addition, men are not quick to show how they truly feel, especially when it relates to being hurt, as they associate it with weakness. This in no way means that they are hurting less than their counterparts. Women, however, are typically a bit choosier about the relationships they enter into in the first place. Thus, when the relationship is over, women tend to take the break up harder since they didn’t approach it as casually in the first place. In the end, having your heart broken is devastating all the same, whether you are a man or a woman.
So if men are hardwired to compete for new women whenever they are heartbroken, is that the only possible solution? Is finding new love the only way to fix the scars left by a previous one? The short answer is no. There are two things we need to acknowledge. Firstly, while finding new love is a good thing, it is often easier said than done. Finding new lust, or simply getting into a new relationship, is easy. But falling in love, as we discussed earlier, are often involuntary. We hardly choose who we fall in love with. Love grows naturally, and it takes time. And it is not easy to nurture the feeling of love towards someone new if a space in our heart is still preoccupied with an old, broken flame. Moreover, when your motive in finding love
is only to heal your broken heart, what often happens is that you inflict heartbreak on someone else.
Secondly, while heartbreak undeniably hurts, realize that it
