last week we went to the farm to visit our relatives and also spend all souls day. I was in the garden talking to my partner over the phone and the radio was tuned-in in FM station when the Disk jockey Que for a break she said "Why do people get hurt when a relationship end?" the question remind in my mind and start thinking why do we get hurt? Does all of us get hurt when our relationship fail? Do we feel the same? Have you've been hurt in your previous relationships? How was the pain?
Then i start thinking again ignoring my partner on the line. have I got hurt in my previous relationships? Did i rally felt the pain? Now, i know the answer after days of thinking. I was not hurt in my previous relationships because i never did take it serious. But, the answer to the question is still vague for me...

It hurts because the hope has been shattered. Hope for the future; about the particular person and the other party whom has broken that person's heart. Some people have their lives filled with lots of work and also activities so they don't think so much about anything else.

I agree with rjvb. Men could even take break-ups more worst than women. Some, at least. And men are more straightforward. Could not take depression too, and would resort to things that can jeopardize their lifestyle. Too much examples to quote, lol..
Oh yes, when it comes to love, I hurt a lot too. Emotions at play. I like to bottle up my feelings and release them bit by bit..

well, yes. Too much focus in "we" and when the time comes that they have to separate unexpectedly all dreams shattered into pieces. Does a man hurt too? do you get hurt as we do? A feeling of being cheated and unloved after the separations?? Do you show your emotions to your partner?

hey,dude! Whats up! Not all get hurt. I witnessed lots of break ups and often ladies suffer. can i ask you something? have you been to a relationship that cause so much pain to you? Did you cry? Did you show your emotions to your girl? Or you are just one of the guys pretending that they are not affected. I'm curious, really curious about emotions of men when it comes to this situation.

There are many reasons why a person is hurt when a relationship end. In my case for instance, my exboyfriend cheated and i was hurt because I gave my trust on him. He was not fair and I hated it.

Hmmm.. how did you find out that he cheated you? Is it easier to let go of the person who cheated you? Is it easier to over come the pain? Is it less pain? I'm curious.

When you truly love and care about someone yeah it gonna hurt....
there's alot of yourself you put into a relationship.
Emotion, vunerability, so like most pain it take time to heal.

hi simonlee
well as for me, i would get hurt very badly if the relationship ends for the sensitive person i am, that is one of the reasons i don't want to get in any sort of relationship for now, i am studying and i am all devoting my time on to it, if i happen to have a girlfriend then i am sure i will loosing my concentration towards her, i am weak in this matter and hence i haven't come in to any sort of relationship, i don't regret it, i have lots of time and someday i know i will have the special one.

Well, that's nice to hear from a student like you. A person sensitive like you would affect schooling once get hurt. It is good to concentrate on your education first before entering to a serious relationship. Once you finished schooling, girls will after you and it's not hard for you to find the perfect one.
Sometimes being in love helps him/her to motivate and do good in school. That's what happened to me.
Thanks for sharing.

I think its how the relationship end that make it hurts.
If you two agree that the best way is to end the relationship and just be simply be friends then I don't think it hurts.
Or if its end simply because you two don't feel any spark so theirs really nothing to feel bad about it.
The only think that makes break up hurt if you don't want or can't accept that you two are breaking up.

That answer depends on one thing. How deeply involved you are in that relationship.
If it means little to you then of course you will not be hurt. If you are the one who causes the relationship to end you will not be hurt. Perhaps the relationship just did not fit you.
But what if you had fallen deeply in love with this person and you trusted them completely. Perhaps you had even began to see yourself married. Then one fine day he comes to you and says, sorry but I have found someone else we need to split up.
You would indeed be hurt.
The pain would actually come from two sources. First is the fact that you lost a love. But the second would come from the fact that you lost a relationship you deeply cared about through no fault of your own.
If you had ever lost a true love this question would not be so vague to you.

Hello.
That reminds us that we are still humans. Have feelings and emotions and therefore prone to pain and hurt.
People who have undergone failed relationships experience the pain because they have given something that is precious to them. Maybe they have tried to work out the relationship and gave their effort, trust, faith, sacrifice and love yet it still failed. That is what is hurting.
But these things happen for a purpose. Maybe to give chance to each other to grow, to mature and improve in handling a relationship. Or to make someone to be a stronger and better person and some other thousands of reasons that are either constructive or destructive depending on how a person would deal with the break up.
But whatever happens, life must go on. This is part of life and we should enjoy living and moving on to a higher ground and to new experiences.
Good day.

I guess, people get hurt when a relationship ends because something good had ended or they felt they were cheated. Most of the time, the people who gets hurt are the ones who feels they were cheated. The people who really cared about the relationship, who'd given effort in it but found out in the end that they were doing all those things for nothing. When a relationship ends, it's either you sigh and say "good riddance" or you'd be the one who'll say "life's so unfair". Yes, you're right about one thing, most probably the reason why you were not hurt because you did not take the relationship seriously. It's as what the saying goes, you've never loved if you were never hurt. When you love a person and you'd given everything to make the relationship work but it ended drastically, you'd feel the pain of losing and feel the pain of being made a fool on. So that's my say on why do people get hurt when a relationship ends? It's because you've loved and lost, felt cheated and left out. The most hurtful thing is, you were made a fool all the while.

All my realtionships are failure, they always end up hurting me so i dont have a choice but to let go. it is really painful when relationship ends because you loved the person but things didnt work right for both of you. And it is much painful when you share almost your life with him and expect he will be the one who will be your partner forever.

It is a natural thing to happen. If my relationship with someone ends, I would surely be hurt, too. That is especially so if he/she is so close to me. I would even get hurt if I have a misunderstanding with my friend, how much more if I my relationship ends with the one I love. I will surely get hurt because of the thought that I would no longer be with him and dreams to get together in the future failed.

Yeah, it is obvious that most people will get hurn when a relationship end at last.
Before the broken friendship, in order to keep a good relationship with their friends, people tend to make much efforts to the longevity of relationship. At the same time, most people will pay much attention to their friends if they care about the feeling of their friends. Even if they find that the relationship will get broken someday, they may try their best to keep the relation.
You see, if you have spend much time on something but get nothing at last, most people will feel sad obviously.

There are many reasons why people get hurt when a relationship ends. Some of which are: 1.) they love the other persons so much that they couldn't imagine life without the other person, 2.) Their pride is eating on them because they couldn't accept that the other person broke up with him her and 3.) They never expected the break up to come.
For the first reason, the love you have for the other persons make you have a feeling of loss. It's as if a part of you have been taken away. The sad part is you know it would never come back.
For the second reason, some people, could not take that they were the ones being dumped, instead of them being the one doing the dumping. They could not accept the fact that the other person simply leaves him/her like that without him having a say.
FInally, for the third reason, the parties didnt expect that their love story would end, and it's ending cause them to feel depress on why they were nbot able to save the relationship.
That's all. I guess there are more reasons, but I guess, these are the main reasons
