Ladies and gents I guess you did the know this but it's known that breakups do affect guys and girls differently.

Particularly is its been a long relationship where it was expected to end in marriage.

Even short relations affect us differently

Have you ever notice as a lady, that after dating a guy for 2 to 4 years, he suddenly breaks off the relationship and moves on to another. Your reaction as a lady is to ask why, even when your told why, you find it hard to move on, but in a 6 months to latest a year, you have moved on(hopefully to someone better).

Yes you may still have feeling for him but your on the way to recovery faster.

Now for a guy, who his lady friend of 3 to 5 years, breaks up with him, he is more likely to no give up trying to get her back for like a year. When the realising that she's gone from him sets in, it's usually year 2. Moving on for guys is always hard after a long relationship because you will not that it seems the guy has forgotten the act of dating, and even if he finds it they are more likely to play the comparism game.

From this you will notice that in long relationships, when a breakup occurs for what ever reason the guys then to get the long end of the stick.

But the reverse occurs in short relations or flings lasting less than 2 year.

Let's look the guys side first, his love of six months tells him it's over, he will wallow for a while ask why for like two weeks then he will most likely get another girl maybe a bit hotter than his ex and attempt to rub it in. At any opportunity he sees his ex.

For the lady it's slightly different, her guy tells her it's over after 6 months. The feeling of being used steps in and she will most often want to do something destructive to the guy for wasting her time and her emotions. This agenda might drive her for a month or more. Also depends on the type of friends she has.

You will notice that the reverse is the case for but male and female on both long term or short term.

Why?

Stick around for the reasons.
