Looking at genders who feel "the most" pain after a breakup, they also looked into the main causes of relationship breakdowns.
With communication coming in first place, one in five people said that this was their biggest problem and found it hard to discuss relationship issues with their partner.
One in eight people claimed that trust issues were another big problem.
The team at the university also found out that men talked more openly about their feelings after a break up than women did and tend to like talking about their break up.
Male users spoke mostly about "regret, crying and heartache" and psychologists say that the idea of men being less emotionally invested might not be true.
They added that men are "at least as emotionally affected by relationship problems than women".
Dr Ryan Boyd, a psychologist who worked on this study, said that "women are more likely to identify relationship problems, consider therapy and seek therapy than men".
"When you remove the traditional social stigmas against men for seeking help and sharing their emotions, however, they seem just as invested in working through rough patches in their relationships as women," he explained.Explore more on these topics:
