Women are so determined to make each relationship work and conform to their expectations so that when it doesn't work out, they're devastated. Men just let things be and move on. Women tend to blame themselves when relationship fails. Usually men blame the women more, then themselves. Have a day day to all of you!

Base on my own experienced and most of my friends when I was not yet married, we the women have supper too much when breakup has done. Hard to recover and still the pain inside always there. For me, I've to recover from my last break up with my bf before i got married to my husband now, was last after I gave birth to my youngest child. And she is now 13yrs old. How hard I've done before that was totally erased into my memory. The feelings of hatred love and regret. Now if we have a chance to see other well, ????? that was a question how i feel ans to react. I'm sure I don't want to talked to him and better ignore him.

Life has to go on. Even we get hurt, we learn from this pain my friend. I think men also suffers and we also get hurt. We just pretend that it's just fine, but it's not. I think who loves more gets hurt! Advance Merry Christmas to you and your family! Take care always my friend! Keep on smiling!

I personally think women find it harder to get over somebody. -Because as said, we blame ourselves, therefore it plays on our mind, though i've managed to get over somebody whom mistreated me and abused me alot- very easily, because over time i disliked them more and more, just never realized it, until finally, i ended it, and felt nothing. (Plus i'd found someone who was treating me nice- we were just friends of course but i fell for him and he gave me the courage to end it.)

Sometimes when we are really hurt we also get numb. It's easily to move on! I also believe that who loves more is the one who gets hurt, it's either the man or the woman. Keep on smiling! Advance Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Hey, when ever there is break up between a MAN and a WOMAN i think it all depends on who care and love most. In the case that is the guy that love the lady most and the lady eventualy fails the man, it will be very hard for the man to get over it cause he really love her. Hence it will be more easier for the lady forgone it cause she doesn't love the man in the first place. So it all depends on who love who, and vice visal.

hello n30wing, that is a very good question. being a thirty-three old female i am at a don't care attitude. me and my boyfriend will have been together for six years in February. it has been so rocky that if he leaves again which his done in the past like ten times i wouldn't care. the last time he left i told him i didn't want him back but he begged and plead that he will change. so in my case he took a longer time to recover. lol.

It takes a longer time for WOMEN to recover in a failed relationship than men. I am speaking in behalf of women like me who are very passionate lovers and who really values love for our partners. When I was in high school it took me about 2 years before I was able to accept that what I'm feeling for a classmate of mine is just infatuation and not love. But I was really hurt when I found out that the one who became my love interest's girlfriend is my best friend's sister. Anyway that is already part of the past so I no longer have any bitter feelings. I am now married and very happy with my husband and son.

Well I think men doesn't really wanna show it, they pretend that they are not hurt. Women are emotional. But who love more usually is the one who gets hurt more. Have a nice day to you! Keep on smiling!

I think it depends on who was more involved in the relationship. When i ewas in high school my boyfriend was ready to get married and settel down. I knew that would be mistake so i broke it off with him. He was devasted and I've heard it was very hard for him to move on. I on the other hand felt bad but i was able to let go and move forward.
