Why are breakups so hard to get over?

In relationships, you and your partner(s) shared intimate details about your lives and were very close to each other. One day, that all changed. Suddenly, all those secrets only your partner knew and all the intimate deals you shared with what you thought was your best friend are now gone. That is insanely tough to deal with, especially if the breakup was unexpected. But, do not fret, eventually all the pain ceases. Although, if you feel like hurting yourself or others after a tough breakup, please go to a licensed therapist and get help. We all are rooting for you!!

That is a great question. My answer would be that a relationship and a person becomes a part of your life and you get used to it. When it ends you miss the feeling you miss the person and you miss having a relationship. Its okay to miss something even though it hurt you as well in the past. For example you can miss an ex that was toxic but also made you feel more loved than ever. that is normal. but never forget the damage you got or the bad sides because you can find the good sides of a relationship with lots of people. When you breakup you might feel lost and empty because now a big part of your life is kind of missing. But always remember that time really does heal everything and it gets better. You are not alone and you are loved. love and respect yourself first so that everyone else does the same for you.

Personally I find breakups hard because you are losing someone you have trusted your life with and all of a sudden they are gone. It can feel like you are lost or have no purpose. I think that to feel better after a breakup we all need good friends and family to support us through the hard times. Obviously it is not comparable to someone passing away, but it is like the care someone provided you has died. I believe that everyone should speak up if they need support or through help, because nearly everyone will have some experience with breakups, so you might as well ask for some help

Attachments and emotions. They're too strong, sometimes so overpowering that they control everything you do. It gets hard to do anything else because of this. In a relationship you feel a certain type of happiness and love, which you can't get after a breakup. So it's mostly that and how much someone impacts you and your life

Relationships are a big part of our life, and they occupy lots of life components as an emotional and social component, and there is also a possibility that you have adapted some of person's attitudes. What I mean about the social component is that the person becomes a big part of your social life, and you do lots of activities with them during a longer time period, and that's, for example, dates a few days a week. With that, there are involved strong emotions (as being in love), which may become even stronger if you were sexually intimate. Some research even suggests that being in love releases sensations in a similar manner as drugs (e.g. dopamine, oxytocin). With that, it is also possible to develop a habit of that person. And when you take all those components abruptly (as in breakup), it takes our being some time to adjust to life without the person.
