1. Within one week after a breakup: Some men may experience strong emotional fluctuations in the early stages of a breakup, including regret, loss, and discomfort. During this period, they may begin to reflect on the reasons for their breakup, realize the loneliness brought by losing each other, and reminisce about the good times of the past.
2. Weeks to months after a breakup: Over time, some men will gradually recover from the impact of the breakup and begin to re plan their lives. However, at some inadvertent moment, such as seeing items related to their ex, passing through streets they once walked together, or encountering similar life scenes, they may suddenly feel a strong sense of regret and discomfort, realizing the importance of their ex in their own lives.
3. Longer time after breakup: For some men, regret and discomfort may not manifest in the short term, but gradually accumulate over a longer period of time after the breakup. This may be related to their way of handling emotions, such as a tendency to suppress emotions, being busy with work or other activities to distract attention. When these men finally have the time and space to truly face their emotions, they may find that their longing and regret for their exes have accumulated to an unbearable level.
