A break up will naturally cause people who are involved in the relationship to get emotionally unstable for some time. This is because so much emotions have been already been invested between the two parties and sometimes we feel that a part of our life has been taken away from us.

Break-ups can be really devastating and extremely painful. When an important person is no longer part of your life or suddenly leaves, it is very normal to want them back.

Author: Ian BellMy friend believes that human beings are essentially polygamous. That they cannot stick to sexual relationships with one person alone. Mind you, he has never cheated on his wife or any of his girlfriends. Nor has he ever broken up with any of his women; it has always been them who have moved on.

All over the world, especially in our parents' generations, we have widespread evidence of successful, monogamous marriages. Yet how many of these people can truly say that they have never felt the need to stray? Or for that matter that they have fantasised about someone else while sleeping with their partners?

Is it because we know that we are equally capable of slipping, and sleeping with someone else that we worry about it so much? Fact is that, all of us feel that if we...more
