When heartbreak strikes, it’s worth remembering that no journey is without its bumps in the road. Often times these challenges can lead to a greater understanding of our partners and so onto even stronger relationships with them in the future.  Breakups are all founded upon a once loving relationship. Both partners must have loved each other previously. Splitting from a partner gives us the chance to look ourselves, to recognise and get clear on what it is that we want, and from that there is always the possibility of being able to build a stronger, healthier more fulfilling relationship going forward. Three traits of male psychology and relationships Generally men are emotionally insecure - Men are often told from an early age not to show their emotions and that “big boys don’t cry”. So they learn to suppress their emotions in order to exude strength and confidence. For a man to express himself emotionally and vulnerably, he has to risk looking weak and unstable in front of other men. This lack of emotional communication can in turn lead to a breakdown in a relationship. So make it safe for your man to share without judgement. Men are natural protectors - even after a breakup, there will still be a part of a man that desperately wants to come to your rescue. On the one hand he will want to stand firm on his decision to end the relationship and on the other hand he will want to be your knight in shining armour. So the secret is to know how to tap into his masculine protective side, without being controlling or manipulative.  Men are lazy - Most men tend to find the thought of creating new emotional attachments with women quite draining. Remember that the love and connection you shared in your relationship was very real for both of you and can never be erased completely. At the moment it has merely been changed and transformed.
