Why does breaking up hurt so much?

Being with someone for a significant amount of time and then suddenly they leave can leave one feeling confused and off balance. The thing to remember is that one day, everything will get better and you will be back to you.

Because you gave your all. Your self, your love, your trust, your faith. But in just a snap, everything fell apart.

it hurts alot cause you felt how good it is, you have all the memories of the relationship and all the happy moments saved in you adn sometimes its too much for you to understand why you cant keep having and building those good moments

Your love for a person don't change, it hurts because you still have feeling for them but it didn't work because you have a chance to keep looking.

It hurts so much because it signifies our human capacity to care to such an extent. We often feel rejected at first, but it's like with anything, if you give it your all it's going to hurt if you don't "win". Feeling like that don't last forever, but they are necessary to experience so we can only grow to be much stronger.

there is no hurt without first having loved, and the hurt is just natures way of making you remember how much you loved. who said better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

Breakups hurt because you've develepoed a close relationship with somebody and it has lasted as very long time.

The reason I believe breaking up hurts so much is because you were with this person for a long time. During this time they have became a part of you. You make memories and go places together and they are special for the both of you and after a break up it is not the same. You have to avoid those places because they make you think of that person. Getting over the person is harder the longer and more serious the relationship was too.

When you love someone, and you decide be it mutually or not, to sever the bond that you have, it is certainly painful- it's proof that you're human. People don't think to cherish the good times and focus on how the relationship has helped them grow as much as just the pain they're experiencing at that time. And that's perfectly fine. These things take time...

The feeling of hurt is all dependent on how attached you are to your partner, or how much the two in the relationship interact with each other.
