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.
