Men experience breakups no less intensely than women — but differently and later. What happens inside when externally "everything is fine," and why male grief long goes unnoticed.
"I'm fine." "Just moving on." This is often a facade. Behind it — grief that men don't know how to show and don't give voice to.
Research by Harrison and Seitz (2007) showed: men take longer to get over a breakup than women, though they appear more stable externally. The reason: postponing grief. When the external "armor" cracks — it is often already too late to seek support.
