CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Breakups can be tough.

But a new study shows it is hardest on men.

This new study has found that breaking up causes more emotional pain for men.

We’ve got three things to know about it.

Thing one is how researchers discovered this. This study was done by a group of researchers from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom.

They wanted to figure out the root causes of most relationship problems.

But there was a twist.

Most studies on this involve couples who are in therapy together.

The scientists wanted to hear from couples who don’* go to therapy and to figure out why. So, they used an anonymous online forum. About 184,000 people posted about their relationships on it.

Thing two is what happened.

They did find some information about relationship problems.

The No. 1 issue is communication.

One in five people said they have trouble talking about their problems.

One in eight admitted they have trust issues.

But this led to something surprising.

That’s thing three.

Men were more likely to talk about the heartbreak around the end of their relationship than women. It goes against the common perception that men aren’t as invested as women.

And, there was another surprise.

Men are just as likely as women to seek out couples therapy and help online for their relationship.

Again, a common perception is that men don’t seek out professional help.

But the researchers found they’re just as invested.

So what do we do with all this new information? That’s the real twist. It does help us understand relationships better but the lead author says this will actually help frame future studies about anything really. They say traditional research methods won’t find information like this so an anonymous forum for people seeking help may be a better way to understand social and psychological issues in the future.

How do you break a soulmate connection?

A ritual for breaking soul ties: Sit in meditation. Call on any angels or spirit guides to be with you as well. Tell the person's soul that you wish them well and all the best in life, but you simply don't want to be in relationship with them anymore.

mindbodygreen.com - What Are Soul Ties & How Do You Break Them? We Asked The Experts

A soul tie is a connection with someone deeply embedded into your soul, certified sex therapist De-Andrea Blaylock-Johnson, LCSW, CST, tells mbg. "Often it's thought to happen after you have intercourse with someone," she notes, adding it's often presented from a very cisgender, heteronormative perspective. The idea that intercourse causes a soul tie has roots in the Christian tradition, "to perpetuate the idea that if you have sex outside of marriage, you'll be connected to someone," Blaylock-Johnson explains. But she goes on to say that "soul ties," at least in regard to sex, are really attachments in disguise and "an over-spiritualization of normal feelings." Additionally, although the bonding hormone oxytocin is released during orgasm1 , not all sexual partners go on to feel emotionally bonded to each other after the experience. (See casual dating and friends with benefits situations, both of which can be done in a healthy way.) With that in mind, professional intuitive and author of Self-Care for Empaths Tanya Carroll Richardson says soul ties can also refer to the broad term describing any kind of soul connection between two people. "You could have known each other in a past life, be from the same soul family, or simply have a soul contract to meet up in this lifetime and have some type of relationship or experience together." And they don't have to be romantic relationships, she adds. You may even quickly realize this person isn't an uplifting presence in your life. "You might have strong feelings or be drawn to someone initially," she explains, "but as soon as you get to know them, you quickly realize you don't want to be around them. Honor that feeling and intuitive hit."
