Breaking Hearts: The Two Sides of Unrequited Love - Emotions and Social Behavior

Unrequited love: dual perspectives, emotional and sociological.

It's not just a collection of stories; it's a blend of narrative with sound psychological theories that might help you understand the complexities of human relationships. If you've ever experienced the bittersweet pangs of unrequited affection or wondered about the emotional mechanics behind it, this book offers both empathy and scientific insight to navigate those rough waters.

Description

Throughout history, unrequited love has inspired ballads, arias, poetry, drama, and literature. Almost always, however, the tale of the "star-crossed lovers" has been told from the point of view of the heartbroken pursuer. This illuminating new work explores unrequited love from both sides--that of the aspiring and eventually brokenhearted lover, and more unusually, that of the beloved, unwilling rejector. Based on systematically collected first-person accounts, Breaking Hearts shows how radically different and often contradictory the two experiences actually are.
