Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.

It is often said that women cope with the breakup of a relationship or a divorce by getting new clothes and a hairdo whilst men cope by going down the pub and getting drunk. I am not sure about this. Admittedly, some men deal with the situation by getting wrecked, but then, on the other hand, so do some women, usually in scotland they seemed to do so very loudly and in the company of their friends who seemed to feel that it was their duty to feel the pain by sinking large quantities of vodka. Some men behave as women are supposed to by getting a haircut, or shaving their heads and getting a few tatoos to change their appearence thus signifying a new chapter in their lives, whilst others deal with these matters by entering new relationships, sometimes of the most unsuitable kind. The wealthy of both sexes, of course can, besides all of the above turn to world cruises and new cars and houses to dull the pain and signify that they are moving on. Whether any of this really deals with the inner turmoil inherent in such situations is impossible to know but at least such diversions prove to the outside world that wjere there is life there is still the possibility for change and in the case of the drinkers there is still the capacity to find something to help them rage against the injustices of an unfair world.

Those who care about those who go through these processes will take it all in their stride and just go on giving the best support and help they can. After all, we all have our ways of dealing with loss and change and who is to say that one way is better then another.
