Probably because you've just lost that one person you thought you had a future with, that person you thought would never leave you, the one you gave everything to and it resulted in you losing them. Or probably because you feel like you didn't try enough, or you could've done something to prevent it, and beat yourself up about it constantly. Maybe it's the missing their family and friends, whom you've grown so close with or just plain love. Whatever the reason, forget it. Perhaps you can't forget it now, and that's good, because you should grieve, you should allow yourself that lovely pity party, because hopefully when the party's over and you've eaten all the ice cream from your freezer, finished all your sweet goodies and feel like a bloated saggy mess, you will pick yourself up the floor and say, "Screw it, I want to be better, I want to be happy, because I deserve happiness. " And rightfully so, you definitely deserve happiness. Breakups normally hurt everyone, and if it's not hurting it either means you're not human or you just lost touch with your emotions and feelings. Pick yourself up gorgeous, it's time to do something about the pain. :)

Breaking up is very painful because a lot is invested in a relationship. This includes a shared vision, dreams, building together and investing in a sense of shared togetherness. Breaking up means that all of a sudden, at a certain moment, this shared vision ceases to exist. The person then has to make sense of the emptiness in their lives. All the shared moments during the peak of the relationship seem to have no meaning and suddenly life itself seems to have no direction. This can be terribly disconcerting and painful. A break up also creates a huge sense of emotional loss and a sense of failure in maintaining relationships.

Break ups hurt because it's taken most of us so long to finally open up to someone that when we let them in our hearts and they leave (which usually feels like it's sudden) it feels like everything we've worked so hard on just falls apart. Breakups can feel like that someone is ripping your heart out and leaving you left alone in the dark. Just know that you can get through it, time really does help. It sounds super cheesy but it's actually very true. I believe in you and know that you can get through this.

The reason why breaking up is difficult because it is hard to let go which is understandable. Breaking up made you lose a partner, friend or family member but it leaves you with a lesson for you to accept and learn. So you will become a better person.

Because we are humans, we feed off from love. Since the moment we see someone we unconsciously set expectations. When those expectations are failed to be meet or are destroyed by a wrong doing we come to face reality. Being in love is being fulled of expectations, it makes sense that one a relationship is done you feel hurt.

it hurts because you have a bond with that person you were dating. They become your normal, they're in your everyday life. They are what you are used too, you just find a new normal without them.

Due to spending alot of time with the person we make memories. When we can no longer continue with the relationship, a breakup occurs and this hurts because we have given so much time and effort that it is sometimes not appreciated and just fires back at us.

You form an attachment to someone and trust them with everything, so it is expected that break ups will hurt. It is a natural feeling and you should accept it

It's hard for two people who care for one another to split, it is understandable. Sometime's breakups are a blessing in disguise.
