- Realisation Dawns Slowly. According to a research conducted by the University of Texas, the core understanding of a break up comes from the fact that you are truly alone and once the realisation dawns upon a man going through a break up, he begins to do things that completely alter and change his state of mind.
- Anger & Sadness. Now that stage 3 is over and a certain amount of realisation has occurred, everything is questioned since. From the reason to the break up to what led to it, everything comes into serious questioning and that can lead to a lot of anger and sadness at the same time, because you're confronting something you've probably swept under the rug for far too long!

We often associate “hibernation” with animals preparing for the winter. Bears hide in their dens; squirrels store up on nuts before snow begins to fall. When men undergo a breakup, they tend to self-isolate the same way. Instead of burrowing in a tree trunk, guys go and stock up on junk food, video games, and movies while figuring out how to deal w...
This is one of the most enduring myths about breakups. Men do feel pain in varying levels and degrees after splitting up, especially if they were emotionally invested in the relationship or seriously attached to their partner. We don’t see this because men are trained to put up a tough exterior, so they don’t allow themselves to grieve their loss p...
Do men miss their exes after breaking up? Of course, they do. They’re human after all. However, some men have a habit of calling up their ex-partner sometime after the break-up, asking if they can get back together. They might even go out of their way to perform grand gestures or convince their ex’s friends that he wants to begin the relationship a...
Sometimes, when a guy undergoes a breakup, he becomes something of a playboy. He moves from one casual fling to another and has a string of rebound relationships that don’t last very long. Although we mostly see this character in film and TV, this guy exists in real life too. Men tend to go through rebound relationships for various reasons: 1. He w...
One strange phenomenon that occurs in males after a breakup is that they undergo a robotic state of silence. As they move through their day, they don’t talk a lot and only react passively to what is going on. And even though they still keep up with their responsibilities, they don’t really perform them at the same level as before. They might also n...
Men tend to have one of two negative responses: blaming themselves over the breakup or blaming their ex. The first, self-blame, is less common. The guy replays his mistakes in the relationship and suffers because of it. He becomes mentally or emotionally unhealthy because he’s taking on everything that went wrong, even if it’s out of his control. T...
Men undergo certain emotions during a breakup, much like women do. They face feelings of extreme hurt, anger, confusion, failure, sadness, and emotional numbness in no particular order. Unlike women, they are usually unable to cope with this flurry of emotions. They put on emotional band-aids and “walk away” from the situation, but the memories com...
A devastating breakup can be hard on both partners, leaving both people crushed and questioning their worth. Once the pity party is over, however, some guys take their fresh start as a chance to improve old flaws. It could be simple changes like working out actively or something more complex, such as pursuing their career goals. So if you find your...
For many men (and even women), spending time with friends you trust is kind of like going to therapy after a breakup. Guys particularly enjoy private drinking sessions with male friends because they can unload their feelings, albeit in a drunken way. Engaging in social activities like this is not always as destructive as it first appears. In fact, ...
It’s an often overlooked behavior, but men do turn to new hobbiesas a way to cope with a breakup. They take the extra time from their newly single life as a chance to catch up to hobbies, activities, or other opportunities they might have sacrificed while they were in a relationship. Common choices are learning how to cook, play an instrument, or d...

- Deciding to end the relationship Coming technically before the breakup, this stage might see you swiveling back and forth between wanting to end the relationship and wanting to stay in it.
- Shock If you were the one who was broken up with, you may have felt like you never saw it coming. You likely (and understandably) feel confused and upset and will spend a lot of time trying to understand what happened.
- Remembering the good times Immediately after the breakup, you may suddenly be overwhelmed by feelings that your ex was the most perfect person that ever lived (hint: they probably weren’t).
- Denial The denial phase of a breakup may feel like numbness or an inability to accept that your relationship is over. You may feel almost emotionless or have a false hope that you’ll get back together with your ex.
- Shock. This stage is particularly pertinent if you were the one who was broken up with and if you didn't see it coming. The shock of a breakup is all about pain, disorganization, and confusion, Gullick tells mbg.
- Denial. Shock and denial are closely interrelated, as you grapple with the reality of what's occurred. Hallett explains that as people move into denial, "they're looking for information—they tend to hyper-focus on things like, 'She or he said they'd love me forever, or they promised we were going on vacation.'"
- Bargaining. This is the stage that can lead to "relapse" or going back to your ex, Gullick says. In an attempt to make things better and/or make the problem go away, people may start to bargain—with themselves or with their ex.
- Anger. Once you've moved through shock, denial, and bargaining, the reality of the breakup will begin to set in, "And the person often does have a lot of anger about what's occurred," Hallett explains.
