How come our heart hurts when a relationship isn't working?
I obviously understand the fact that's it's painful to love someone if you have to say good-bye, end things, etc. But "what" hurts? It's an emotional thing. So how does that "hurt"? How come we can't just say to ourselves, okay, this isn't working. Move on. Our head can say that, but how can a heart feel emotional pain?

we were created for relationship and connection. When the relationship is being threatened or rvrn comes to an end, there is a sense of emptiness within the heart because it has been disconnected from what we are created for.

Naturally there's a steadiness. You must weigh the entire professionals and cons within the instances that you just uncover your self in and then you definately comply with your middle while you understand that the percentages are extra for your want. See I feel folks that simply keep on with their emotions are blinded to the realities of the quandary they're in. They flip off their mind and believe such a lot that they do not have a rational gurad as much as say whoa you're heading right into a hazard zone. So they continually emerge as harm. But in the event you appear on the quandary from all angles and result and do the professionals and cons factor then I'm certain you might have a simpler time of matters.

For me, I value the relationship so much to the point where it isn't even worth it. Why? I was raised by a family that put up and kept it together at all costs. Not good.
So, yes it hurts me deeply to experience a break-up.
Some partners see logic sooner than yourself and initiate the decision, this is not in your plan, therefore leaving you shocked and confused. It takes time to accept and move on.
I did learn to let go. You can too.
Good Luck x

We all want to be loved. Being rejected by someone hurts because it implies we are not worthy of being loved any more, however irrational that seems at the time.

i think it is because when we first get into a relationship we get all butterflies and fall in love then you think you will be together for the rest of your lifes you get stronger feeling but when its over without realising it you start to hurt because you are loosing something you have always thought would be there to love you and you love them

Because it is rejection!
Nobody like rejection, we all want to be liked or loved. If you love someone and they do not feel the same way if is rejection. Find someone else you feel better with!

Because of the spiritual connection you have. The love is still there, just not as bright.

rejection causes pain. it is first felt in the brain and then you feel a stifling feeling of being crushed.
time. give it time. it heals all.
sometimes you are ahead, sometimes you are behind...

there is an emotional attachment with the person which you dont want to break. knowing that they were meant to be together.

Amazing how psychosomatic things can affect the heart - isn't it?
I got your point. I don't know.
