CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Breakups can be tough.

But a new study shows it is hardest on men.

This new study has found that breaking up causes more emotional pain for men.

We’ve got three things to know about it.

Thing one is how researchers discovered this. This study was done by a group of researchers from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom.

They wanted to figure out the root causes of most relationship problems.

But there was a twist.

Most studies on this involve couples who are in therapy together.

The scientists wanted to hear from couples who don’* go to therapy and to figure out why. So, they used an anonymous online forum. About 184,000 people posted about their relationships on it.

Thing two is what happened.

They did find some information about relationship problems.

The No. 1 issue is communication.

One in five people said they have trouble talking about their problems.

One in eight admitted they have trust issues.

But this led to something surprising.

That’s thing three.

Men were more likely to talk about the heartbreak around the end of their relationship than women. It goes against the common perception that men aren’t as invested as women.

And, there was another surprise.

Men are just as likely as women to seek out couples therapy and help online for their relationship.

Again, a common perception is that men don’t seek out professional help.

But the researchers found they’re just as invested.

So what do we do with all this new information? That’s the real twist. It does help us understand relationships better but the lead author says this will actually help frame future studies about anything really. They say traditional research methods won’t find information like this so an anonymous forum for people seeking help may be a better way to understand social and psychological issues in the future.

How long should no contact with ex last?

60 days The no-contact rule refers to cutting off all contact with an ex following a breakup, and it's the best method for moving on from an ex. No contact should last for a minimum of 60 days, and it includes no texting, no calling, and no interacting on social media.

mindbodygreen.com - The No-Contact Rule: The Most Effective Way To Move On From An ...

Some people try to use the no-contact rule as a form of manipulation (i.e., a way to get your ex to miss you so much, they want you back). But despite what some people will tell you on the internet, no contact is not particularly effective for getting an ex back. Just because some people have exes who reached out to them after a period of no contact doesn't mean this will be the case for everyone. Moreover, trying to reduce your former partner to a formula or trying to control their behavior to meet your own needs is not very empathetic. Attempting to use the no-contact rule this way may be a sign that you have your own inner work to do that's a barrier to your relationship working. This strategy can also be unhealthy for you because it keeps you psychologically attached to a past relationship, slowing down your healing process. Instead, the no-contact rule should be about you and helping yourself move on from your ex. It's an integral tool of self-empowerment. You want to get to the place where you're able to say, "With or without you, my life is going to be amazing."
