After a divorce, the wife has a harder time in the short term because the practical aspects are usually more complicated for her – the finances, and taking care of the kids. But the husband has a harder time emotionally, and I think I learned that studies show that it’s harder for the men in the long-term.
I was talking about the emotional aspect. Emotionally, I think men need marriage more. That’s why single guys have a much harder time than single girls. And I think that women could potentially hurt their husbands more on an emotional level. I’ve never been married, so I could be wrong, but that’s my impression.
But I guess we don’t disagree, since you were talking about the practical/financial side.
However, nowadays, it’s less true than it used to be, since most women work today.
