Glove_slap Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 But are most of the loveshack forums filled with more males asking about lost girlfriends than females asking about lost boyfriends? (assumption of heterosexuality)
TheDovic Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I think (in my opinion) men don't tend to break up with women as often because they get very comfortable in relationships. Women on the other hand (again, only in my opinion) tend to get bored quicker, especially if their man doesn't challenge them i.e. is too available, too nice etc... Therefore they break off the relationship after taking the time to think about it for a while. Then us men are left in a panic because we didn't see it coming and are desperately searching for answers! Therein lies another possible reason. From an evolutionary standpoint men are programmed to "fix things" as since the stone age they have had to work together logically to hunt etc... therefore when something goes wrong, our immediate response is to try and fix it, hence coming onto LS to seek advice!
Kamille Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I'm not sure I understand the question. I just got my heart broken by a guy who, indeed, chose to emotionally distance himself from me rather than break up with me (is that comfortable?). I broke up, but it wasn't because there wasn't any drama in the relationship: it was because seeing someone I love take me for granted and push me away was too much drama and caused me needless anxiety. I could assume there's a basic flaw in all men that explains why I got my heart broken. But no, I'm focusing on my relationship and what went wrong in it. That way I can learn and grow, and move on to a stronger relationship in the future. I wish you the same.
