DIVORCE AFFECTS MEN MORE

Divorce is an end to a relationship, no matter how callous or painful the circumstances behind it, are.

And to say that it is only the women who feel devastated, will be an understatement. Divorces affect men too, and this article shall provide insight into how they are rendered weaker by estrangement.

1. Men are Fragile

Although a lot of feminists will roar in unison against this statement, nothing can deny the subtle truth behind the fact that men are indeed fragile creatures. Since they engineered to put an apathetic front, the world mistakes their lack of expression for coldness. Something as devastating as a divorce can bring about a breaking point in one’s personality.

2. Men are Introverts

While a woman can gather her friends, cuss her partner to eternal damnation and cry her heart out, men cannot really make their feelings vocal. Men are emotional introverts and tend to be sufferers in silence. They tend to appear brave through the storms in life. Maybe because they do not have the clarity to understand their feelings or they see no importance in making a big deal out of it, man has been known to internalise his grief since birth. And as known to all, pent up emotions affect the physical and mental well-being in the long run.

3. Physical Implications

The inability to express grief and nursing a mortal blow to self-esteem can result in a gradual breakdown in their health. The stress involved in the divorce procedure can cause lack of sleep, depression, lack of appetite, fatigue and listlessness. These symptoms end up giving way to bigger afflictions. Sometimes, with the stress level surpassing its limit, it can end up causing cardiac arrests. Long-term depression can also give way to suicidal tendencies, nervous breakdowns and general disinterest in life.

4. Psychological Implications

Beside the physical, a bad marriage ending in a divorce can have numerous psychological implications as well. Studies have shown that divorced men have shown higher tendencies to becoming juvenile psychopaths than the ones happily married. The inability to express their unhappiness tends to manifest in sadomasochistic tendencies. Heightened feelings of anger and vengeance result in unsolicited acts of rampant violence, often exerted on themselves or others around them.

5. Financial Implications

Divorces are financially exhaustive processes for most men. Liquidation of joined assets, spousal and child support payments, end up burning a huge hole in the life savings, thereby leaving a man financially crippled. Having to deal with financial bankruptcy, while nursing an emotional blow, is not the easiest combination to live with.

At the end of the day, a man will be infinitely less vocal about his grievances than a woman, but that doesn’t mean that his pain will be any less. If anything, the implication of a divorce is harder on a man, leaving him with little or no chances for recuperation.
