Just as love is experienced by both men and women, also does the hurt of separation. In fact, a man takes more time to leave the woman he loves. Once a woman decides to break off from a relationship, she does so within a few days. According to interviews and surveys, a man takes months to reach the decision of breaking up with his woman.

Based on a survey in which more than five hundred individuals in love were questioned about how they would handle a breakup situation, more than fifty percent of the males said that they would need time to analyze the issue before they could decide whether or not to sever the ties. As against this, only about a twenty percent female partners felt they would need to reconsider their decisions.

It is also said that males are prone to discuss their love issues with near relations or pals before ending his connection with a woman. The same study commented that ladies seem to take their own decisions and quickly too. Ladies feel that they would not want to prolong the hurtful or meaningless relationships.

No matter whether a man or woman cut off an affair; overcoming the pain and hurt is more or less the same. Men keep brooding about the issue too. In fact, men are more open in admitting that their love was deep and hence the pain too is heavy and unbearable.

Just as woman would confide in a friend, a man too would talk to his friends. The number of men who would get involved with other ladies is also very less. The affected male and female partners try to drown themselves in activities and work. Some of them may find solace in overeating. Their weekly chocolates and ice cream consumption may go up radically.

Some ladies and men would get into an affair on a rebound. Although, a man will not admit easily, he too is affected by broken relations.

Lack of sleep, clinging to the memories of the past and sulking around, are signs of how deep the wound is. Many times the affected person may have serious health problems. Going into a depression is a common one.

The aftermath of breakups must be handled with care. The pleasant signs of love can be felt in a negative manner when you leave your love. It is important that you come out of the pain with least damage.

Sever all Communications

Stop yourself from getting in touch with your ex-friend. Avoid discussions or even mentioning the name.

Replace networking or mobiles by direct meeting

Instead of browsing through Facebook and other networking sites, go out with friends. Socialize. Staying away from friends will hurt you more.

Lean on Shoulders with care

Ask for help with care. Taking your friend for granted will become stressful. See that you don’t lean on one friend totally. Go shopping or pamper yourself. But stay within limits.

Motivate yourself

Join a course or take up a hobby that you may have wanted to do. Give yourself time to heal. Just because you are at a loose end, does not mean that your life would come to a standstill. Pull yourself together and get to work. Self pitying and anxiety will not help. A change in your attitude will help you make a joyful u turn. Stay open and welcome life.
