The article explores how men often find their sense of purpose and meaning primarily through their families, despite appearing entrenched in their work routines. It highlights a common dialogue between couples where men struggle to convey their emotional investment in family life, a point often misunderstood by their partners. The author emphasizes that divorce disproportionately impacts men's mental and physical health compared to women's, stressing the unique emotional toll that marital separation takes on men who derive their identity and meaning largely from their relationships with their wives.
In my long clinical experience, men tend to live in their work and routines but live for their families.
Every therapist has seen that, too. Men have a hard time giving the reasons why they value their wives because their wives are the reason they value everything else.
In terms of physical and mental health, as well as job performance and concentration, divorce is emotionally harder on men than women.
Make no mistake, women also suffer after divorce, especially economically and in the struggles of single parenthood.
