having a hurt heart, while at the same time, feeling resolved, is a very weird thing.
As a still single 43-year-old woman (last 10 years I’ve had four relationships) I think that one of the most hurtful things about starting a relationship and then having an end, is losing the person that you thought was going to be your friend.
Do men go through this? I guess it depends on who does the breaking up with who…
@Armchaircouch sorry it hurts ❤️
Speaking as just one man, yes - loss hurts. Whether doing the breaking or accepting the breaking, one of those losses is certainly the friendship (and I’d say, one of the most fundamental losses) and for me, yeah that hurts.
