Most people think women are more affected when a relationship hits a rocky patch. 
According to a new study on over 1,000 break-ups, it is the opposite. Research from the Wake 
Forest University in the USA suggests men have a much harder time dealing with the low points. 
Researchers say women have a harder time coping with a break-up. Lead researcher Robin 
Simon said: "Common wisdom says that women are more hurt by problems in a relationship, but 
we found that the…disadvantages of strain are exaggerated for the men." She added: "Men are 
more sensitive than we often think they are." Simon and her co-researchers discovered that men 
often put a brave face on problems they have with their partner but inside, they feel more 
emotional pain than women. 
The research also showed how differently men and women dealt with problems. Women show 
their feelings more by crying and talking about how they feel. Men find this hard to do because 
they need to be ‗masculine‘ and men don‘t cry. Instead, they turn to the bottle or look for escape

by using drugs. Ms Simon said the more relationship problems a guy went through; the more 
likely he was to become dependent on alcohol or drugs. They make the pain go away through 
substance abuse rather than talking. Simon said things are changing and that more and more men 
are opening up. She said guys these days are more likely to have divorced parents "and this 
might make them more sensitive to the ups and downs of a relationship‖ and be more 
emotionally aware.
