Is divorce harder for men or women? (21)
I would have to say it's harder for the children.
They're the ones who are usually right in the middle of it all.

It's hardest for whoever loses the kids, so the Dads usually.

It is harder for the one that broke the commitment to that family and then regrets it.
As for the children they should be able to see both parents no matther whom gets the custody of them, under normal circumstances.

Haha, well the causes for divorce are not specific to one gender. Whereas the only gender related consequence of divorce is that the children usually live with their Mothers. Access is not the same for the child or the Father.
So objectively speaking divorce is harder for men.

If it was a traditional marriage ie stay at home mom raising 2.5 kids and husband as bread winner, it will always be harder on the woman because she will most likely raise the kids with little to no work experience or marketable skills, plus she will have childcare expenses and probably a low credit rating because she probably never even had a credit card in her own name before.
The husband will be paying child support of course but his vocation will go on as if nothing ever happened and he will be free to do as he pleases like date the hot secretary who's had an eye on him for months or years. He'll get the kids on weekends (when they don't have school) and be free to take them to fun places and spoil them (with the helpful secretary)
This scenario doesn't even mention the deadbeat dad or bum who doesn't even have a job.

I never said otherwise.
Rumple4skin: ... Whereas the only gender related consequence of divorce is that the children usually live with their Mothers. Access is not the same for the child or the Father. ..
And why do children usually live with their mother?
The judges that grant custody are both male and female and I dare to say that the proportion is higher for males.
Are those judges wrong in granting custody?

For me it was really a painfull and breaking point in my life.Our children were given the option to choose with whom to live -they were teenagers at that time- and guess what: They decided to live with me.
Why? because their Father was always busy, he had not time for them, etc...
Now they get together -Father and children- any time they want as has always being since we were apart.
As a matter of fact we all got together yesterday for dinner at my place because we had to take some family's decisions and I can tell you the Father of my children was really nervous about it. He wishes to get back and have the family we used to but that is just out of question.
No one was killed .
A Father should not be denied to see and enjoy life with his children.

I think for women it is harder to survive in a material sense, but women might be more self sufficient otherwise.

When I filed divorce in 2000, I had to talk to my daughter about the situation. ButI didn't tell her that my EX was cheating on me. I made her a choice though ( me or my EX ). Fortunately, she chose to be with me -- she's smart !! Being divorced for such a long time is not that easy for me. But me and my daughter are doing ok -- and still surviving without getting any support from my EX or from anyone else. I think it's a matter of having faith in yourself and being strong .. then everything will be ok.

yup divorce is more likely to throw a home maker into poverty and honestly court settlements do very little to allay this these days - even if she was not employed outside the home - the courts often do not take that into account any moreit is much harder on women - especially if the man is the one who applied for it

being busy wasnt the case, i don't care what you say. 90% of children love mother more because they get away with more wrongds and have less discipline to learn. A man only gets nervouse when he feels helpless in a situation and your saying no in that case pumps up a lot of questions. I had the kids after the separation but now they don't come near me yet i have never even called them idiots.And why do children usually live with their mother?

It's harder on the one who was more vested into the relationship. It can go either way.

I think the emotional aspect is harder on men but the financial aspect is harder on women.
In the beginning of a divorce a man has a hard time believing that she doesn't love him anymore. He feels broken but eventually he gets back on his feet and moves on. Men look at marriage as a lifetime involvement, they don't want to go through the whole wooing and dating thing again.
Women look at the white wedding gown and all the frillies that go with the wedding. When the divorce comes along she's hurt and upset if he betrayed her but she's not as broken as a man is because being a woman helps her to move on. She looks forward to dating and being the center of attention again.
This is just my opinion folks.
