Breaking up is never easy — but how do young people in Europe experience the end of a relationship? From ghosting and texting to staying friends and setting boundaries, we explore how Gen Z across Europe deals with heartbreak. Are there cultural differences in how people break up? And how has social media changed the way we separate?
We spoke to young Europeans on the street and to psychologist and couples therapist Gülcihan Korkmaz to find out what really helps — and what doesn’t.
