Does heartbreak hurt less with experience?

[✪ Jim Lahey]

This might seem like a silly question, and it's probably a different answer for everyone but for you personally does the pain hurt less each time on average?

A little over half a year ago I got dumped for the first time and it was a lengthy relationship and I was in a lot of pain, but I don't think I could ever be hurt that bad again by anyone, I feel like I've grown and I'm stronger.. or maybe just more numb to it? Or I could be completely wrong and it might hurt just as bad the next time (also depends on the person to of course)

What's everyones experience with this if you've been broken up with a few times? Does it hurt less each time?

Love isn't a numbers game. There are so many more factors and variables that come into play that you're ignoring.
- The quality of the relationship
- How it ended
- etc

I thought that love was more of a human impulse and the body takes action by realising chemicals like dopamine to the brain to then get the reaction known as "love". It seems measurable and quantified to me.

I won't classify that as love. Nor would I consider all actions we take to simply be the results of evolution.

I would take a guy with 2 black eyes over the entirety of 1D.

I realised what it sounded like now.

No. The amount of pain you go through will be based on your relationship with that person.

If you were very close and had been for a long time, it's going to hurt. Plain and simple.

Relationships though that have drifted or if you weren't that serious or hadn't been together for long, the pain and heartbreak of it ending will very likely be less severe.

In my humble opinion, it won't or shouldn't hurt less the more experience you have with heartbreak. Why? Because if you do, that may be a sign that you're becoming emotionally detached, possibly doing it on a subconscious level because deep down inside, you're afraid of getting hurt again. But that shouldn't happen anyways.

My advice? Just don't rush things right after you get hurt. No need to bring any sort of emotional baggage or open wounds into a new relationship.

Good luck!

I'm trying to figure out what that has to do with the thread.

For me, it hurts just about the same everytime.

I just woke up from a 5 hour and a half nap. If i was heartbroken I would still be.
