Can men handle a break-up?

Nick, a 25-year-old marketing executive broke off with his girlfriend. Since he wanted to handle the break-up on his own, he stopped meeting his friends because he did not want any sympathy from them. But it was only a matter of time that he became frustrated and started losing his cool on practically anything and everything.

Moving on is difficult for many, but since women can talk more openly about their sorrow and find no harm in crying about their pain, they are able to handle this sort of stress better, unlike men."

How should you cope with break-up stress:

- Accept that you are not at ease with the break-up

- Identify the core beliefs that are upsetting you and replace them with positive ones and seek help.

- Cry if you feel the need to do so. Don't suppress your feelings.
