Emotional pain is definitely worse.
I have been in quite a few relationships before where I would much rather have been beaten until I was black and blue than have had my heart ripped out like I did. Great post.

jemmie,
It does seem that in general, the physical aspect heals quicker and with less long-term effect.

Melodystar,
so I take that to mean you think physical pain is the lesser of two evils? I'm inclined to agree with you.

Such a great question. Since I have suffered both of them to the extreme. Yes I can take a pain killer which I have to everyday or can not bear the pain my blood pressure gets so high I end up in the emergency room. Or the emotional pain which my father and last 2 hubands and this one included. I have been so broken emotionally that I wanted to Die, but watching my self wastse away from something that I have no control over is the pain that does not go away. Great Post.

I'd definitely choose physical pain. My twice-broken foot didn't hurt nearly as much as my multi-broken heart.
And the broken foot doesn't bother me much at all anymore. The broken heart tends to bring up those old memories in inopportune times, making my heart ache all over again.

StrickGold, thanks.
It is a hard question to answer, at least for me.

??? Good question
whereas there are many definitions of a broken heart. i.e (breaking up with someone you love) that is no reason to stop living. Move on. Losing someone who you love because of death is emotional pain that may never heal. Physical pain you can always take a pill. Excellent post
