why MEN moveon so fast after a breakup

November 25, 2011 1:43am CST
ok so i had been with a guy that i was totally inlove with for almost 3 years.but he just suddenly stopped loving me and cheated on me by the end. i was really heart broken to find out that he was already in a relationship after 2 weeks we had broken up.it just kills me to know that it was so easy for him to move on.does this holds true for all the men out there?or its a case to case basis? bec im discouraged to get involve in a relationship alltogether if the same fate will happen to me again.

Men and women are just so different, I really don't think men love in the same way as women do, I think men except for rare occasions men seem to fall in lust not love, women are made to love in a different way simply because they are made to have the babies so their feelings of love is more intense, just my opinion......

yes i agree with your response i believe that men except on rare occassions fall in lust and not in love,unlike us women as mentioned by the other responses we tend to love with all our hearts and when we do the love just stays with us forever

My experience with this is that men really don't move on faster, they just pretend to move on faster so they can rub it in your face that they're "fine" while you're a wreck. I dated a guy who broke up with me and would post things on facebook just to get under my skin "it's so nice to finally meet a girl who likes to do things that I like to do" things like that. It made me cry a lot but he was only doing it so that it would seem like he had moved on. When I started dating someone else he was so upset it wasn't even fit.

For women are more beautiful than guys, they possess more attracting powers. This will cause the man to be attracted to the girl instantly. With beauty, who would wait a second? It's just what the man feel if he be falling for another in such a short period of time and we can't say anything about it.

Just to point you out . Its already researched that women move on faster then men , yes there are all kind of people but overall i think there was the test results : 5% women signed 5 years as time to forget , and like 20% of the men signed for over 10 years and a lot of them asked where are the other greater options . But thats overall facts . We are about the this situation . Well i myself was with a girl for 6 months we broke , well i still love her but well anyway just 5 years passed . No Biggy right ? i dont know if one life is enough to forget love . But yes there is the fear of trying again when you can get hurt over and over and people dont like getting hurt (so natural ofcourse) . But Yes - People like that exist , and No its not only MEN moving on so fast after breakup .

Hi Julilene, First of all...not ALL men cheat like that. I will say that I have noticed that no matter how good a relationship is though, men do seem to move on quicker than woman do. When a wife passes,I have seen men who seriously loved their wife and never cheated, pick up with a new woman and even re-marry so quickly. Women seem to wait longer. My theory is that they can't stand to be alone but I really don't know. It will be interesting to see some responses from the guys here.

I don't think that men move on from break ups faster than women, but I do think that it is fair to say that they deal with them a little differently than women. I have had a fair number of ex boyfriends who have just tried to go and get into bed with another woman as fast as they possibly can when they have experienced a break up, and that is something that they do to try and make themselves feel better rather than because they actually feel ready to be able to enter into another relationship. These kinds of relationships are never successful, though, because emotions are too high and will get in the way of things.

You may think he is in love with you in the past three years, but in reality, he is just another player, that's the reason he can move on so easy. Sorry Pal! You got a wrong conclusion, your ex-boy friend is more than happy after the separation, he can move as quickly as he want without a dumbo cry over his shoulder. Tell you a true fact of life, Not all men out there are like that, your case is an exception.

I don't think this does, it just depends on the person, I have seen and heard of men who could not move on even though he broke up with a woman for almost 6 years and some, even more.. You should not generalize them, that guy didn't deserve you if he cheated on you- you should just forget him and find someone else- well, easier said than done.. Good luck.

Not all men move on quickly, it just depends on the man and also how deep his feelings for the woman were. After one of my relationships in the past has ended, I take a long time before I am ready to move on. I have deep feelings for a woman when we are in a relationship and its difficult for me to just forget about her and move on. Anyhow, give yourself time and when you are ready it will be easy to be with someone again.

Hi there, Don't be discouraged, not all men are like your ex. It just shows that the guy you're with is not meant for you. There are still other honest guys who will truly love you and won't cheat you. I also don't believe that all men moves on quite easily. I know some guys who waited for a long time before jumping in to another relationship. Your ex cheated on you and I guess he's already having that relationship with another girl before both of you even broke up.

Interesting topic. I can't wait to read those opinion from guys here. I can't answer your question because that is the question I really wanted to know from all guys. I experienced that too. And It's really hard for me to love again. I feel that I lost my trust for those men. I know guys are not the same. I just realized once we get hurt we became wiser.

Faithfulness and commitment are not one sided gender-related matters,I think. Its still depends on human behavior and attitude towards relationship. Some can cope up easily,move on just like that,while others still holds on. What I've learned in relationships is to just to treasure good memories and always keep a little for yourself. If the time comes you separated,you can always go back to yourself and moving on won't be a question of how fast or how long it takes, but a state of being back to yourself again and cherising good memories.

Men are hunters and they will not stop hunting for their preys even when they are in a relationship. Stay cool. Don't just sit there and torture yourself. It will make situation worse and he doesn't even know that his leaving breaks your heart. But if he happens to know that you are having a fun time and if he still cares and love you he will come to his knees and beg to be accepted back. Love works mysteriously!

Hi. I think it really depends on the intensity of love one has for the other. In a break-up, the one who has a stronger love usually has the most difficulty in moving on. So it can go both ways. Man or woman.

there are many such men who seemed to never care about their spouse. start with someone just to provide pleasure associated then come bye and what is where. I do not know why there are such men because they are obviously disappointed in love once and I think that may still happen to them they just take out insurance. the man hurts them but they do not show their pain. nice day!

Because, when a man sees someone he thinks more that what he has, they can easily court the , we,girls do not do, we dont court guys. We just wait for someone. But, whatever happens in between the relationship, you should always leave something for your self.

No not every man can move on so fast but most can. First of all, not all men are very emotionally attached. Secondly, as you said he was cheating, it seems he had lost interest in you. Also since it had been two weeks already, he had already moved on (He had taken all the time he needed).
