Many of us have witnessed break-ups in their life or in the life of their closed ones. Break-up always brings unhappiness uneasiness followed by an initial stage of shock and defeat. Even if some of us put forward the tag: “No right, no wrong, no rules for me, I’m free…”, break-ups always bring a sense of being replaced, a sense of denial, shock, anger, sadness, depression, low self-esteem. We do a lot of crazy stuff just to elevate our self-esteem and just to feel good about ourselves again. Men and Women Suffer differently but enduring post-break up syndrome is more or less same for them.
