The effects of divorce on men and how to recover

The effects of divorce on men however are a lot sketchier for a number of reasons.
  • Men don't often speak about their experiences
  • Society expects men to simply 'deal with it'
  • There are more women's groups willing to find these things out
There is of course a lot of anecdotal evidence of the negative effects of divorce on a man's life and mental health which this blog will cover:



Depression :Men get sad and low from losing their wife and their family. This is not a difficult thing to imagine, but full blown depression is also something that is very common.





Anger:Seemingly uncontrollable anger can manifest in men who were once mild mannered and friendly because of divorce.




Loss of Self Esteem:A mans pride in himself is shaken when the women who promised to love him forever says she no longer does. His house, his family, and his place in the world is shaken so his self esteem plummets.


Loss of Status:A man is often judged by his marriage and family in our society rather than his personal character. This status of being a husband and a family man is a part of a man's personality and the loss of this status makes other judge him poorly even if they do not intent to. 


Alcohol and Drugs:Many men turn to substance abuse to numb their pain and have a high in the midst of a time of extreme lows. This can become addictive and lead to a post-divorce life even more miserable hat can hurt their finances, mental health, children, family and many more people who care about them.

Difficulty Trusting Women:One of the most poisonous effects of divorce on men is the broken trust that in some men never heals. While men may move on to other relationship an inherent distrust and often bitterness towards women in general can often remain that will destroy their attempts at future happiness.
