history: I had a broken heart from my previous relationship That's too bad. The idea of a broken heart actually spans multiple cultures. It's been around at least 3,000 years. Yeah, the feelings can be very intense. In fact, the emotional pain can be so severe that it actually damages the heart. Wow, that's kind of scary. I guess that's why it's called a broken heart. That's an interesting thought. The broken heart concept is actually thought to be universal because so many cultures use the same words when they describe the feelings associated with the loss of a relationship. Yes that is true. We are all humans and if someone you hold dearly suddenly leaves it's like the person died
