Heartbreaks have become a common occurrence in today's society, with many people struggling to cope with the aftermath of a failed relationship.
According to Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe, hosts of The Morning Kiss, men are particularly vulnerable to heartbreak, with some even resorting to suicide.
One such case that sparked the conversation was a story shared by a listener from Tasia, who had taken his own life after his girlfriend left him.
However, not all men are willing to give up. A caller shared his own story of heartbreak, where he was cheated on by his girlfriend while she was pregnant with his child.
Despite being forgiven and even having a child together, the man's girlfriend continued to cheat on him, leaving him heartbroken and afraid to move on.
"I almost killed myself," the man confessed to Kamene and Kibe. "I love her so much, but I don't know if she feels the same."
As the conversation continued, Kamene and Kibe highlighted the importance of teaching young people about love and relationships, and how this lack of education can lead to heartbreak and vulnerability.
"There is no one to teach us on love," Kamene said. "That's why men are fragile when it comes to love stories."
On the other hand, some women are taking matters into their own hands, with one listener suggesting that women should protect themselves from heartbreak by being more cautious in their relationships.
"Guys have heartbroken us for too long and now we have gotten to a point where women need to protect themselves," she said. "When you see a guy doing you wrong, even if you love them, the best thing is just to leave."
As the conversation came to a close, Kamene and Kibe emphasized the need for this discussion to happen within their circles, in an effort to help stop the rising number of suicides.
