Divorce Makes Men More Suicidal Than Women by na2day2(m): 12:24am On Mar 14, 2010 |
This is from one of the Jack Cafferty's questions on CNN. this is why alot of guys living in the western nations, especially the USA stay away from marriage "It's no secret divorces can be ugly, messy and uncomfortable in so many ways, but now there's research that suggests divorce is also one of the top reasons for suicide among men. AOL News reports that the stress and sadness associated with divorce take a much tougher toll on men than women. Experts say suicide rates are higher among divorced men - and lowest among those who are still married. Single men fall in between. One sociologist who studies family structure and suicide rates says divorced men are almost 40 percent more likely to commit suicide than those who are still married. That number jumps to 50 percent for a man who is widowed. Yet for women there's a statistically insignificant difference when it comes to the risk for suicide among those who are married, divorced or widowed. Some think it's because marriage provides a support system that men rely on much more than women. There are also studies that show married men take fewer risks and are healthier - less likely to smoke, drink or use drugs. Another reason why women might be less suicidal is because of the children. Women often remain the primary caretakers for kids after divorce; and research shows that for every additional child in a home, the adult is less and less likely to commit suicide. Overall - men in this country are four times more likely than women to take their own lives." http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/11/why-does-divorce-make-men-more-suicidal-than-women/ |

Oh well, the reverse is the case in developing countries where the man kicks the woman and even his kids out of the house. The western countries have laws that protect the wife and kids. |

Well, I agree with this one. , Divorce affects men psychologically more than women. |

When the man has to pay huge settlement,why won't some feeble minds opt for suicide. Let's try turn the table around,and you'll see men smilling and going hiking after divorce,while the women go for evaluation. 1 Like |

Ebonyeyes: but there is a trend, most developing countries pick their taste and life style off the developed ones, so if men in the developed countries shy away from marriage and the men in the developing countries pick the same pace, dont u think there will be more of a damaging effect on the developing countries? when i was in nigeria, even at a young age folks talk abt marriage all around us, since i came to the states, all we talk abt is work, hanging out, games and stuff like that very few like the topic of marriage; most are satisfied with just a gf as long as she dont move it toward marriage. after reading this piece dont u think these guys are justified? |

Depression is a helluva thing I think we should try and understand it better rather than ridicule people who take the easy way out. |
