		<description>wow.. its great seeing all these inputs from guys and girls. i broke up with my boyfriend 4 months ago and it was a horrible break up. he said some really mean things as well while i was grovelling with him right after the break up. of course, after that he betrayed no emotion and still up to now whenever we bump into each other he would quickly look away and avoid me. i still think about him all the time but at least the tears have stopped and heartache somewhat diminished :D i wish there was some way we could try again but i just don&#039;t know how to crack this wall around him. lol.</description>

		<description>I am in love with a man that I had been seeing for 7 weeks. I overreated to him not returning my call late one night and I ended it via email. It hurts, but I am moving on. I wonder if he thinks about me as much as I am thinking about him. If he just CALLED me and told me that he wanted to talk to me, I would be there in a heartbeat because I LOVE him. It hurts me that he hasn&#039;t called.</description>

		<description>Honeymoni, you sound very mature and it seems like you&#039;ve handled your breakup quite well.  Furthermore, despite you being a woman and I being a man, we have had similar emotions.  Although I see other women, I reminisce on my last girlfriend, I cry sometimes, I wonder what she&#039;s doing, I hope she&#039;s safe and being loved, and I often imagine what it would be like if she came back into my life romantically.  

I believe that handling a breakup well isn&#039;t dictated by gender, but rather by experience. Experience has helped me to cope with all the strong emotions I&#039;ve had.  It&#039;s also helped me understand her feelings and helped me realize the importance of respecting her thoughts, wishes, and space.</description>

		<description>Wow first of all I definitely agree with some of you guys about publishing this. This is a great way to express feelings we dont normally ask the opposite sex. Secondly it&#039;s very interesting how there&#039;s actually posts of the guys point of view here. I was once in the process of trying to get over my exbf. I thought it would be easy because I was the one who packed up and left. I fell in love with him right after a couple months and we actually lived together. The first 4 months was a mess. I couldn&#039;t stop thinking about him even though I was seeing someone else. We were only together for 6 1/2 months but it felt like it was years. So much great things happened and so much bumps on the road as well. But it&#039;s almost a year that passed by after the break up and I&#039;m definitely better than before in terms of not reminiscing at night and crying about what could have been and what would have been if we were still together. But at times I catch myself thinking about where he is and what he&#039;s doing. Sometimes I just wonder does he still think about me as much as I think about him. I know that sometimes there&#039;s just that lingering feeling of the care and love for the other person. I know that I&#039;ve moved on with the relationship that I have now but there are random times that he stops by at work or texts me out of nowhere. I don&#039;t know anymore. Love is complicated....</description>

		<description>We both stopped talking to each other.  I sensed something was wrong; lack of intimacy, we saw each other less, she came over and promptly fell asleep on my bed Valentine&#039;s Day...

I&#039;ve dated other women since with a great deal of success, but I still miss her.  In fact I after 3 months, I still think about her almost daily.  I&#039;ve shared great weekends with really great women since, and still have found myself longing for her on Sunday night.

However, through all the pain, I have found solace in that I am more outgoing and I&#039;ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of really interesting people, learned more about myself, and done some really interesting things that I may have missed out on had I remained in my last relationship.  

It&#039;s all good-maybe in another few months I&#039;ll forget about her all-together.  My friend is having a party this weekend-think she&#039;ll be there-so I&#039;m going to skip it... I think seeing her would suck my heart of my chest.</description>

		<description>Chris,

Did you break up with her or did she break up with you?

Also, do you want to get back with her still?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s been a while since anyone has written on this but I just came across it tonight and I&#039;d like to post my experience.

I am a male on the verge of being 29, and I just broke up with my girlfriend 1 1/2 months ago.  After 9 months, for some reason we stopped talking to each other.  I kind of felt that there was a disconnect before hand, so I was not that suprized when things went bad.  

However, subsequent to the break up, I was an emotional mess.  I had problems sleeping, I forget to eat meals, I think about calling and asking her to come back to me, I cry, I often admit my pain to my friends, I try to think of only her faults, I confronted her at a bar, I had occasionally texted her, and I listen to self help books on tape...

Similar to Kim, for some reason this was a very hard break up.  She was my world, and we had a great time together.  To see it all end was more than I could handle.

My perception is that she has forgotten about me.

And I realize how sensitive I am.  I want to love and be in love.  And I am sad that I am alone.  And to think that I will not have a gf to be with me on my birthday really bums me out.  

But each day I get better.  And I still have my friends to hang out with.  And loads of old friends who I have found on facebook want to see me.  And I am becoming more sociable, because I have a strong desire to meet new people, and a strong desire to find a great girl.

I think men don&#039;t have as many experiences as women in the relationship, so I agree that women handle breakups better.  Also, many women have been with men that just use them.  Guys really never experience that.  I&#039;m sure you women get tough skin from those types of situations.  And women do have a better social network.  It&#039;s easier for women to find themselves in a social enviornment where they can meet new people and find new relationships faster.

So men I say to you this.  Be more like women.  Allow yourself to have closer friends. If you find yourself in a break up, tell your friends.  They will want to help you.  Go out and find strangers to talk to.  Work up your self confidence.  Realize you can&#039;t change certain things.  Getting yourself out there is tough, but you can do it.  If you work hard, you&#039;ll realize you can build yourself up.   And if you can build yourself up, you&#039;re on your way to bouncing back into another great relationship.

Since the break up I have had several dates.  Nothing has worked out unfortunately.  But I feel that every date builds me up.  I use these dates as a means to flex my personality.  I try to charm people for the heck of it.  I know something will shake out eventually.  

Be proactive (not reactive) and expand your circle of influence!

I will be notified of followup comments so if you wish to respond to my post please do so...</description>

		<description>Hi Starry Eye
 I&#039;m doing so much better. I still miss him sometimes but it passes quickly. It takes time, it really does. My therapist told me to embrace the pain and then move on. It does help. Meeting new people helps and having good friends around to support you. I will pray for you to get over this quickly. Take Care and hope to talk to you soon.

		<description>Hi Kim,

Sorry to hear that. Your post was sent Oct last year, are u OK now? I do hope so. I am not sure if I am in the same position, but I miss my guy best fren so much it kills. We used to hang a lot together, I meant a lot and lately he has been confused. He wants to go out with other people, and I think he should since I can never be with him, when he did, I told him its best we dont meet again coz somehow my heart couldnt take it. And now, we dont talk/sms anymore. 
I dont think he misses me at all but here I am, crying my lungs out every night. Whats wrong with me? I am feeling so down, I cant focus at all :( I wished its all a dream but then, its not.I miss him terribly.</description>

		<description>Well my boyfriend and I broke up 3 weeks ago and Im having a horrible time with it. I&#039;ve been crying for 3 weeks straight and having anxiety attacks. I&#039;ve talked to him a couple times and he seems fine, like its no big deal to him. Were both in our 30&#039;s and to be honest I dont remember ever feeling quite so bad over other break ups. I remember getting over them a lot faster than this one. Maybe because I love him more than I have ever loved anyone and that this happened so suddenly and I was not expecting it and he never really gave me a good reason to why he wanted to break up. Im female and IM not getting over this very quickly at all and I don&#039;t feel like Im going to anytime soon :(
Any advise??</description>

		<description>I am a female that was just dropped kicked last week after dating over a 1yr 1/2 and I believe all of the comments made are pretty valuble points. My ex is all ready to be freinds cuz he had time to prepare for the breakup. Calling and texing to see if I am upset and asking ?&#039;s to help him feel better...like do i still love him. Needless to say I am not there yet, but assured him i will get there and only time can heal the matters of the heart. So I believe it varies cse by case ..regardless male OR female. Only if you allow yourself that time to move on, instead of faking and trying to replace the pain with a vice or another human being.</description>

		<description>for me i couldn&#039;t handled it better.. i suck at breakups.. did mistakes i should have never done.. m still learning but atleast now i am wiser ;-b . You can say women handled it better, we are the master of disguises. ha,ha,ha. but deep inside who knows...
depends on situation ler. but men i think usually initiate breakups coz i guess they get bored easily by our constant nagging.. ha,ha,ha,ha... its not nagging.. its caring. men just misinterprete it ;-b

Tips : When men are down, they need some quality time ALONE. so when he doesn&#039;t call, let him be. Don&#039;t constantly look for him and prevent him from having time on their own. If you do, he&#039;ll be irritated and pissed off and the next thing you knew, he&#039;ll say terrible words that&#039;ll hurt you more (in which he didn&#039;t realise but then regret saying so later) After awhile, after thinking, recuperating etc etc. He will eventually be on his feet again. Just hope that he&#039;ll be in touch with you. If not, move on. Men will be more irritated if we women kept calling, wailing, begging. 
Women in the other hand needs validating and re-validating of men&#039;s feelings towards her, every now and then. Once is never enough.

Sorry but i think i&#039;m way out of topic now.. ha,ha,ha,ha... i think m suppose to write under the topic &#039;how to prevent breakups&#039; LOL... or &#039;the Don&#039;ts in a relationship&#039;.</description>

		<description>dont think so.. think it&#039;s a balance thing... it all depends on the manner of the break up. no hard and fast rule to it.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;pelf&lt;/i&gt; Well, I suppose, but then doesn&#039;t sound like a REAL relationship in the first place. More like insurance? I&#039;m talking about real relationships, and not puppy love.

&lt;i&gt;CincauHangus&lt;/i&gt; Yes, it can be switched back on, but why do you wanna do that? Cause chances are, it&#039;ll trip again. Long run, it&#039;s pointless, you either need to re-wire the circuits or move to a new place. :-)</description>

		<description>Err.. I think it all depends on whose court the ball was in? I mean, if a girls wants a break up (say, if she found a nicer guy), she wouldn&#039;t cry her eyes out after breaking up, would she? :)</description>
