why is it so hard for women to get over a relationship or divorce and it is easy for men to move on as if?

Question

nothing has ever happen?

Answer 1

not true,,,,,, i am going though a divorce and sometime i start to cry for no reason at all. I'll be at work and just break down crying, driving in my car same thing. at first it didn't really hit me now after two months its hard for me. the only thing that keep me doing right ( self-destructive) is my 8 month son Michael........

Answer 2

I dont think it has to do with the level of content between the sexes as much as it's the reasons ppl get divorced.....With most women, when it's over, it's over and they want closure moreso, on average, than men (at least openly)......Men are simpler for the most part but that doesnt mean they think about divorce it's just it's tougher for men to admit mistakes and getting a divorce, no matter the reason, would be just that. I dont mean to ruffle any feathers but men certainly dont have higher tolerance for anything in this world and a less than perfect marriage isnt exempt. Men just are usually too lazy to do anything legal and find it just as easy to up and leave, with the hopes of things getting better over time so they can move back in. Surprisingly enough, more women are starting to use the same approach these days, especially where children are involved. I would necessarily consider women "needier" on average (I know a particular couple of needy men) but they seem to have "higher standards" or expectations from a union. Men seem to always want to keep there individual self but dont expect the same for their partners......I think that's where most of the divorces come from.....Also, the woman just finds out that the guys isnt who she really wanted or as one of my female friends put it, "I can't mold him" :P.........you see, if a woman cant "mold" a guy, he's next to useless, but men will stay tenuously connected to any woman that sleeps with him....sad but true

Answer 3

Because men just let the emotions bury themselves, and act like nothing ever happened. THis way, they can still have fun, and then let loose in privacy. Women let loose, and haVe their pity party before they go out there and say good bye to the jack *** that broke their hearts. So it's like they're punishing themselves for the break up. But guys just get back out there, and try to boost their ego, and see if they can get some meaningless sex out of it, or atleast see a naked lady, and for a while anyway, the pain subsides, so it's easier to numb the pain...then out of sight out of mind becomes easier when u've got other things on ur mind...instead of the failed relationship.

Answer 4

I don't think it IS easier for men. It's easy for the person doing the leaving because they don't love you anymore and want to move on (thus the divorce). The person left behind (male or female) suffers a lot.

Answer 5

I don't know about that. I know many men who suffer just as much as women, but it's not cool to show it. If you mean how can they have a sexual relationship with someone else so quickly you have to remember men understand the difference between physical need and love for another. Women's emotions are much more involved with the sexual aspect of their lives. If he's "hooking up" it doesn't mean he isn't feeling pain about the one that got away they just process differently than we do.

Answer 6

Men have just as hard time as women do getting over a relationship. Men just don't admit to it, or express it like we do.

Answer 7

Women are just so emotional. Men can be hurt, but they are less likely to show it. It's kinda sad sometimes for the 'rebound', because they do move onto the next and are really still thinking of you.

Answer 8

Have you seen The Break Up? its a great movie. Vince Vaughn acted like nothing happened and he just went on living the same way as before after Jennifer Aniston broke it off. She wanted to work it out but he was in denial.

But we try and try and try to make something work and when it doesnt, it pushes us to try even harder. Its hard is all I have to say.

Answer 9

This is a delusion many women share.Having ben through one messy divorce with a mentally unstable(putting it mildly)woman who was institutionalized repeatedly and that I still cared for deeply moving on is a problem.

Answer 10

Men like to bury their hurt and forget by dating other people.

The phrase is called, "Rebounding".

They found an attractive (or unattractive) woman and move fast into the relationship, in order to surpress feelings of sadness, depression, and hurt.
