How Men Really Feel About Breakups

How Men Really Feel About Breakups

Are they the gentler sex, or just indecisive?

Even if he’s just not that into you, it might take the guy a while to break off a relationship. When it comes to breaking up, most women pull the plug within a week—while men drag out the decision for over a month, according to a recent British survey conducted by Palamedes PR.

The survey asked 500 unmarried couples how they would hypothetically handle a rift in their current relationship. A whopping 53% of men said they would need to do “some serious soul searching” to decide whether or not to break up, compared to just 23% of women. Men were also more likely than women to discuss their relationship problems with a close friend or family member before ending things. Call it female intuition, but it looks like we make up our minds pretty quickly when it comes to a split.

That said, you might want to take these stats with a grain of salt, since the survey was commissioned by a site called Sheleft.me, which targets bitter and recently dumped dudes. Still it’s interesting to see that most of the guys thought long and hard about their breakups before acting on them. So are we the more decisive sex? Maybe. One hundred percent of the women surveyed agreed that they wouldn’t want to remain in an unhappy relationship for a moment longer than necessary. Truth!
