Reasons for Breaking up
Why Men Break Up?
Lack of Freedom: Freedom can be achieved rather quickly as a result of which an immediate sense of freedom is obtained right after breakup which they feel is lacking while in the relationship.
Discomfort with extreme Emotions: Men tend to feel a sense of discomfort when confronted with extreme emotions hence they avoid such situations very often. This is also due to the societal stereotype abiding to which they suppress their emotions.
Jealousy: Very often, men have a hard time accepting the fact that their potential partner might have an interest in someone else. They might feel jealous but may not accept the fact that they are being jealous.
Disrespecting Personal Choice: Certain women might restrict their partners from interacting with certain people or might demand attention all the time. Due to this, men might end up feeling that their personal choice is not respected and they may want to get out of the relationship. While this might be true for both genders, it is generally a factor found prevalent in men.
Why Women Break Up
Feel a lack of Love: Once this feeling of being loved or loving someone is lost, it takes a long time to come back. As a result of this, generally, when a woman realizes that she has reached the end of her endurance, she tends to breakup with her partner.
Differing Expectations: While men might want their space, women might want their partner around or vice versa. Men have expectations like getting their partner’s support in their decisions while women might expect active participation of their partner in everything they do.
Lack of Consent: Research has shown that women value consent a lot. When they experience a lack of consent from their partner, be it in physical or emotional matters, they tend to move away from the relationship.

Stages of Breakup
Generally, people go through certain stages after experiencing a breakup. The five stages of breakup include:
- Denial: While in denial, the brain gets time to adjust to a new situation. In this stage, the person isn’t able to fully accept that a breakup has occurred and keeps on hoping that their partner will return.
- Relapse: The pain becomes so intolerable after a point that you may be convinced or even succeed in convincing your ex to give your relationship another try.
- Anger: In this phase, anger is exhibited towards the partner leaving you with thoughts and emotions like “How could he/she do this to me?”, “How could he hurt me so much?” and so on.
- Euphoric Remembrance: Here you reminisce the good times together. You start to recollect how everything about your relationship was so good. You question your/your partner’s decision and wonder why did you have to part ways.
- Making sense of it all: In this stage, you weigh the positives and negatives and start to make sense of it all. You finally start to realize why it all had to fall apart. Your brain tends to analyse it all and get a logical explanation. Sometimes you may even end up over-analyzing your as well as your partners behavior. Grieving can be a part of this stage.
- Acceptance: Gradually you start to accept the breakup and its impact. You realize there’s no point staying stuck. You stop trying to get back and start accepting it actively.
- Redirected Hope: In this stage, your acceptance deepens and you start looking at life meaningfully. You begin to see a way to let go of the guilt, anger, frustration and move towards making peace with your feelings.If you want to get out of all this and want to save your relationship then connect with our best online therapist and enjoy life with your partner.
