That is because of magnetic domains. Magnetic domains represent the magnetism at a given spot in the form of a direction. If the all point, let's say, left, the magnet's south pole will be on the left. Ex: LLLL If we were to split this magnet, we'd get LL LL, which is simply two smaller magnets.

When a magnet breaks, two similar magnets are formed. The pole formed at both the facing edges of the new magnets are similar (north-north or south-south). As like poles repel each other, the two magnets repel.

Out of the four different ways you can bring their ends together, two ways attract, and

the other two ways repel.
