Why does breaking up hurt so much?

There are many, many reasons why breaking up hurts so much. Would you like to talk about the reasons your break up is hurting so much?

Breaking up hurts so much because in relationships - we fully expose ourselves to our partner; we let them see every side of us; good and bad. And, when that person leaves or you break up - it hurts knowing they know every single part of you, every habit and flaw because you feel like nobody else will know you as much as they did. It also hurts because saying goodbye to a person who you spent such a long time with, it's ridiculously hard to let go and we tend to feel vulnerable at the fact that they've left us despite being one of the only people who really knows us.

One of the most painful things in life is losing, and losing all ties with the person that you share a special bond with is broken, it can be devastating.

It's an emotional and psychological and physical you're joined to that person if you have been intimate you become one its like cutting a piece of your foot from them that's the reason we are suppose to not join with people unless we're sure we're going to be married to them .God hates divorce it destroys and takes a long Time to heal

Breaking up hurts somuch because we grieve for what we are losing, for what might have been and we long for the feelings we had at the start.

Breaking up hurts for two reasons. 1.) It's a let down. When you choose to date someone, you usually have hopes of it lasting and because of this, you put all your energy, hope, & time into making this relationship work. And the thought of it not working out is too much of a letdown. 2.) You lose your best friend. He/She isn't just someone you kiss a lot and are physically attracted to. Over the time of your relationship, you form a bond. You share things-private, vulnerable things. And when it ends, they're gone and everything they were to you. Your support system, your protector, your soft place to land at the end of the day-gone. That's why breaking up hurts so much.

Because the other person has become part of you, psychologically, and losing them is like having a limb amputated.

Because you lost a part of you that made you feel secure. Security is what we find in a home or a new car; it makes you feel happy by knowing you have a house to sleep in every night and a car to drive to work; it is something only clarified to feel within. Loss of security means loss of ability to control your thoughts and impulses. People who feel insecure fight their entire lives to have the comfort of another individual and be able to have that comfort at hand when needed.

When I lose a friend, it makes me sad. So it is understandable that it would really hurt after a break-up. It is someone you love, someone you shared a part of yourself with...someone you trusted. And when I have a break up, it feels like that love is gone, that the same part of me that I shared has gone with them, and that I might never trust anyone again. It hurts because it is love. And we are human. We hurt when we lose a loved one. After all, it has been said that breaking up can be equivalent to a loved one passing away. But that's just from my experience. I really hope you feel better. Breaking up can be very challenging. But for me, time turned the memories into mere stories that I can reflect on and learn from.

Because you remember about the nice moments you have spent together,because you got used to seeing that person.
