ringo Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 when a break up/separation/divorce - what ever you want to call it occurs, that it seems easier for men to handle - easier for them to move on? Why is it that some men don't really show emotion? Why is it that women tend to take things harder? We're more emotional than most men... yes... but I just don't get it? I know some woman may be as the men I've stated.... I don't want to generalize or stereotype... just curious as to how and why this happens. To move on easy... how do one actually do this? Lesson we could all probably need...
seahorse Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I don't know if that's a valid generalisation. Looking at the divorce/seperation forums, there seems to be just as many men as women posting about how devastated they feel when things go pearshaped. Possibly men are just taught that "big boys don't cry", and try to suppress it more, at least outwardly or to those they know personally. It seems they are just as likely to go to the Internet to let off steam. seahorse
johan Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Maybe it's because men have much more entertaining things they can go do to distract themselves. Like fishing or football or building something. Women don't really do cool stuff like that. I would think that shopping or whatever would just be more depressing. I don't know. Just a guess. Seahorse is right, though. It's better not to make generalizations.
