After the divorce, her husband is worse than his wife

Many argue that women suffer greater mental losses than men if the family breaks down, but an Australian study shows that the thought is not entirely true.

Physorg quoted Australian psychologists as asserting that, during 4 years after the marriage relationship ended, the level of satisfaction with men 's lives significantly decreased. Meanwhile women recover spirit better.

'Both men and women are greatly affected by the decision to end marriage. Although women suffer financial losses from their wives larger than their husbands, their spirits recover faster , 'said Professor David de Vaus, an expert at the University of Queensland, Australia.

David de Vaus and his colleagues followed 14,000 people (both male and female) who had divorced. The team studied their situation two years before divorce and four years later.

The results show that the income of 57% of women decreases in the first year after marriage breaks down. 'Divorce causes short-term and long-term effects. Financially, women suffer a long-term impact, " de Vaus said.

However, women's social relations are widened after the marriage breaks down.

On the contrary, the degree of satisfaction with divorce men 's lives is significantly reduced by mental losses. Specifically, in the first year since the family separated, 48% of men still live alone and feel lonely. Meanwhile, only 39% of women have not re-priced.

The men need an average of 4 years to fully recover spiritually. Most divorced men participated in the study, saying that after 4 years, they felt satisfied with life as when they were still married.

Professor de Vaus presented his findings and his colleagues in a workshop of the Australian Family Research Institute in Melbourne in early July.
