BEAT LA is right. Most of us have gotten our sad little ol' hearts broken more than we've broken girls' hearts (or... other guys' hearts... heck this is the 2000's, not that there's anything wrong with that). We dudes may NEVER know when we've broken a girl's heart 'cuz they never come forward and they never say a word, but we're the dumb ones who try to get with the chicks that never will never listen to us... we'd rather get with the slutty outgoing bit... I mean, girls. You know who the girls whose hearts we break are... the nerdy fatty, unpopular chicks, sitting at the front of the class, the ones with the pimples, glasses, dressing like they're still in the 60's... but then those same nerdy ones who are the ugly ducklings in grade school become models AFTER we don't pay any attention to them. We will never know. You know who I am talking about.
A few. However, mine has been broken severely TWICE. By the same person... Some lessons are never learned.
I can't think of any... most of my breakups were me being the dumped rather than the one asking for the separation... the rest were mutual "see ya laters".
Its a tough answer to quantify bc "over what period of time" is an important consideration also. So many broken hearts are more of a case of hurt pride and that doesn't last long. If you still think about a particular person after years... thaaaaat counts. Even then, I'd expect people over the course of years to grow and become more satisfied with life, not less. It's what people do. They have to.
