Men and Women handle break-ups differently. In general, I think any man that is really in love will take it harder than a woman. Players are the exception. They don't care and never will.

I think often, for a man, it goes to ego. Most often for women, a matter of the heart.

Almost 20 years ago, I went through a very heart-wrenching breakup, so I'm sure that men get very emotional when this happens.

You mean "whiney, bytchy, stalkerish??"

Hehe, J you know what my answer is and why :)

H-e-double-sippy-straws YES, they CAN.

Honestly, I have never really been inclined to Create drama like that, and women typically have the rep for this kind of behavior, but I have seen men do it PLENTY...the last one wasn't the first one to stalk me and be a whiney girl about it. I would SAY he wouldn't be the last, but:

1. I think I've learned to spot these freaks by now

and

2. I'm keeping the one I've got now, so there's no need to worry about it further ;)

Each case is different. It usually depends on who the injured party is. One party takes an irate position and the other one the poor me. When I got mine, I just wanted him to leave me alone so I could get on with my life. He'd caused enough pain while we were married and I wanted no more of it!

so true on that mz just. sounds like you married a "codependent" and didnt know it. unless somehow he knows of it later in life he will always make some other woman like he made you. and then some women think that is normal. oh yuck (like my mother when she was alive

i think it really depends on the person. some get over a break-up faster, some slower.

exactly correct. depends on the person, their age and maturity level.

A man is either going to avoid or ignore his feelings when he truely loved someone or be "stalker bill".....after a break-up

reply
just tr... to dee September 12, 2010 13:13:43

dee, but not "all" men are like that. some do think with their brians that God gave tthem, or as "life" gave them

reply
dee to just tr... September 28, 2010 14:48:41

Really?....I truely believe that a man who is in love would initially choose not to display that (vulnerability). Only those "men" who can overcome and express their feeling can move on and be in a successful relationship. Those who can't make the next, and the next after that pay for the hurt of a past relationship. Stalker Bill....well you know how that goes...:-)
