But when researchers examined the responses by gender, some challenges to preconceived gender stereotypes emerged. Researchers found that talk of heartache, regret and tears after a breakup was surprisingly pronounced among men, occurring “significantly more” among male respondents than female ones.

Read More »Contrary to the common belief that men are emotionless robots capable of only horniness and rage, a recent study has found evidence to suggest that men are, in fact, able to experience other, more vulnerable emotions. Not only that, but it seems men may actually be more emotionally invested in romantic relationships than their female partners. While gender stereotypes often paint women as the more emotionally attached partners in relationships, and thus the more distraught over their dissolution, recent research suggests men may actually be the ones stuck sobbing over a pint of ice cream after a breakup. The study, published last month in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, sought to examine the outcome of romantic hardships by analyzing responses from more than 184,000 volunteers who opened up about their relationship problems in an anonymous survey. Primarily analyzing the language respondents used, the UK- and Switzerland-based researchers mined the responses for recurring psychological themes to build a map of common relationship woes. Some of the patterns that emerged weren’t all that surprising: communication issues, trust and time investment came up consistently as relationship stressors. But when researchers examined the responses by gender, some challenges to preconceived gender stereotypes emerged. Researchers found that talk of heartache, regret and tears after a breakup was surprisingly pronounced among men, occurring “significantly more” among male respondents than female ones. “The fact that the heartache theme was more commonly discussed by men emphasizes how men are at least as emotionally affected by relationship problems as women,” said lead author Charlotte Entwistle in a statement. While this evidence that men may in fact be capable of experiencing heartbreak might seem to subvert traditional relationship stereotypes, the idea that men take breakups harder than women isn’t really all that surprising, and can probably be attributed to those very stereotypes. Thanks to the idea that men are unwaveringly stoic and unemotional, many men have less experience processing negative emotions in a healthy way, and may also feel less willing to reach out to emotional support networks — or to even have them in the first place. Naturally, it’s a lot harder to get over a breakup — or any traumatic event — when you feel you don’t have the space or resources to effectively express and process the emotions that come with it. Of course, this dated, gendered mentality is unfortunate at best, and often turns toxic. So, recently dumped men, please, for the good of society, let this be an invitation to you all to break out the Ben & Jerry’s and embrace your inner sad boy next time you get dumped. It’ll be fun, I promise.

Read More »The no-contact rule refers to cutting off all contact with an ex following a breakup, and it's the best method for moving on from an ex. No contact should last for a minimum of 60 days, and it includes no texting, no calling, and no interacting on social media.
Some people try to use the no-contact rule as a form of manipulation (i.e., a way to get your ex to miss you so much, they want you back). But despite what some people will tell you on the internet, no contact is not particularly effective for getting an ex back. Just because some people have exes who reached out to them after a period of no contact doesn't mean this will be the case for everyone. Moreover, trying to reduce your former partner to a formula or trying to control their behavior to meet your own needs is not very empathetic. Attempting to use the no-contact rule this way may be a sign that you have your own inner work to do that's a barrier to your relationship working. This strategy can also be unhealthy for you because it keeps you psychologically attached to a past relationship, slowing down your healing process. Instead, the no-contact rule should be about you and helping yourself move on from your ex. It's an integral tool of self-empowerment. You want to get to the place where you're able to say, "With or without you, my life is going to be amazing."
