Break-ups are a tough time. People say that female partners have a very rough time during and after a break-up and that male partners feel nothing! Knowing that you wouldn’t receive a good-morning text from your bae, every second after that seems so long.
Let me prove you wrong. Being a male symbolizes strength, power, and masculinity; why will a break-up affect them? It wouldn’t affect them even a bit.
6 Things Men Go Through After A Break-Up
Males are secretive. They hide their feelings1. You never know what they are. Only when you have been with a guy closely would you feel the blood flowing through his body, know the thoughts that run in his mind, feel him; only then would you know that even though he might say he’s fine, he’s okay, he’s intense; he’s not!
1. He’s Not Okay when He Says He Is
Even if he pretends that the break-up hasn’t made him any lesser, weaker, and enjoying every bit of his life, abort this illusion1. He feels horrible, and it’s hard to get through it. Pretending something isn’t hurting hurts even more.
2. He Has Friends and Family but Not You
From the outside, “Yeah, It’s so much fun with you guys” from inside. He may hang out with his friends, stay with his family and meet people. Even though surrounded by people, he would still feel alone. Because the only person he needs, the only person who could make him feel better, is the person he can’t have anymore.
“I feel so alone, only if I had her right now.”
3. Who Cares if A Guy Is Broken?
4. Aggressive
5. He Doesn’t Want to Look at You?
6. Men Don’t Cry
The world’s not perfect. Men cry. Men get weak. They hurt themselves too. Break-up is as disastrous to them as it is to girls, or maybe even more.
