For some reason, it is generally accepted that men are happy to regain their bachelor status, but this is not entirely true, or rather, not true at all.
Probably, the reason for such a mistaken opinion is that young people do not show their emotions, hiding their feelings. Because of this, even relatives and close friends may not guess what is going on in a guy's soul after breaking up with his beloved girl.
However, the process after a breakup includes 5 stages, each of which is characterized by its own experiences.
1. Denial
Immediately after the end of the relationship, the man cannot and does not want to believe in the reality of what is happening, perceiving the separation as a bad dream.
At this time, he is tormented by thoughts about his former life partner, expecting that the relationship will change for the better, but, as you understand, the desired transformation does not happen.
2. Anger
When a young man realizes that a breakup is inevitable, he is filled with anger, rage and despair - he is even capable of falling into a rage if someone mentions his ex-partner.
3. Bargaining
At this stage, the representative of the stronger sex accepts the breakup and begins to analyze the situation, thinking about whether it is worth trying to return the love, or whether it is time to start looking for a new lady of the heart.
At these moments, the mood of young people is changeable, and sometimes they can return to the second stage.
4. Depression
When a guy realizes that the past cannot be returned and new relationships do not work out, melancholy sets in, which is replaced by apathy, and then depression.
This period is dangerous because a man can become addicted to various kinds of addictions – alcohol, illegal substances, etc.
5. New life
At the final stage, the young man, realizing that life is not over, gradually comes to his senses. Longing gives way to relief, and memories of the ended relationship are no longer associated with pain.
