What’s a Heartbreaker?

What’s a Heartbreaker?

A heartbreaker is someone who breaks hearts. They might just break 1 heart though- yours. Some people say these people break hearts everywhere they go, but that's not necessarily true. Some people say that heartbreakers deliberately break hearts, but it might be unconscious. Some people may not know that they have broken a heart. Some heartbreakers are horrified if they find out that they have, although others don't care.

Love is a very complex thing. Not only do we have no choice in who we love, but we don't get to choose who falls in love with us. Love seems to just happen all on its own. When you love someone and they don't love you, your heart will be broken even if they don't mean for it to. If you both love each other and things don't work out, you will both have a broken heart. Even if you stay together, if the relationship doesn't go the way that you hope it does, it can break your heart.

Heartbreak is not rational. Sometimes it comes on without warning. Heartbreak does not discriminate, but it seems like everyone gets their heart broken at some time or another. Sometimes heartbreak is not something that you can heal from easily or quickly. Heartbreak is not anything that you can prevent, and it's not fair. Unfortunately, though, it's a part of life.

It might seem like forbidden information, but it's not. So read on to find out how all of the Zodiac Signs, from Aries to Pisces, go about breaking hearts.

Aries Heartbreakers

Aries will quite often break your heart with their words. They can be very blunt, and that is inconvenient because they can be quite harsh. If they get angry, they don't mind shouting, being, insulting, or saying things that they know trigger your sensitivities. As quickly as they start yelling, they will calm down and forget about everything they said. Not everybody else is so forgetful, though. In an argument, they fight dirty, and hit below the belt with the harsh things they say. They will forget that they are supposed to love you, and they will treat you as badly as they would their worst enemy when they're mad. After that happens, even one time, some people just don't have it in them to stick around because they are so broken hearted. Read more about Aries here: The Dark Side of The Aries Zodiac Sign

A Taurus will be shocked when you finally leave after they've threatened to throw you out for the 100th time and they will pursue you, insisting that they love you and you abandoned them. It's not beneath them to make an emotional appeal to your mutual friends or family members, accusing you of abusing them when in fact it was them who behaved in abusive ways. It's not that they don't want you to be around, it's that they believe you should tolerate them at their worst if you want the best side of them.
