If falling in love makes people deliriously happy, then getting your heart broken is emotionally shattering. And while there may be a lesson to be learned, truthfully I can’t really think of anything good about a broken heart. But alas, it is a part of life.

In the October issue of the UK's Harper's Bazaar, Liv Tyler opens up about her breakup with Royston Langdon. Her extremely candid interview shows the grieving side of Liv as she admits to struggling through the pain and loss of her five-year marriage. As we all know, breakups can be devastating, but Liv is being brave and facing her reality head on: "I am trying to just let myself feel it.

Dear Sugar,
I am one of your male readers and have been having a problem for a while now and need some help. About five months ago my (now ex) girlfriend and I broke up. It was initiated by me after a fight when I said that I needed some time alone to think.

At the recent NYC press junket for the big premiere, our favorite Sex and the City actors got asked about some of the tough relationship issues their characters have dealt with throughout the show and now, in the movie. Ironically, the infamous heartbreaker
Mr. Big, AKA Chris Noth, was asked if he had any experience in breakups, to which he responded:
Absolutely, I always think it is harder to dump than to be dumped.
Breakups can often be debilitating, and while it's easy to tell our friends that we don't feel like going out, it's a lot more difficult to
get out of going to work, even if your breakup does feel a lot like having the flu. But now, a Japanese marketing firm called Hime & Company is offering "heartbreak leave" for its employees going through difficult breakups.
According to Reuters:
Staff aged 24 years or younger can take one day off per year, while those between 25 and 29 can take two days off and those older can take three days off, the company said.

There is really nothing better than falling in love, but on the flip side, there's nothing worse than having a broken heart. Love and heartache hits everyone differently, some get physically ill when they are overcome with love while others get sick with a broken heart, so ladies, do tell, how does love sickness affect you?

DearSugar --
My boyfriend of nearly 4 years just broke up with me over the phone last night. It completely came out of the blue and left me confused and heartbroken. We had been fighting for a while, but the last couple of weeks, we were really starting to work things out and hadn't fought at all.
