There are few similarities between British and American divorces when it comes to the laws that govern the situation and how the cases are ultimately decided.  However, the psychology of the spouses involved is something that many feel are similar, and according to a recent British survey that questioned spouses who had recently completed a divorce, it was the men who tended to suffer for longer periods of time than the women.

According to the survey, nearly half, or 48 percent of men described themselves as feeling lonely in the year after a divorce.  Conversely, just over one-third, or 35 percent of women described themselves in the same manner.  In addition, a look at the statistics in the United Kingdom revealed that more than two-thirds of divorces filed in that jurisdiction were initiated by the women in the marriages.

While this survey will not likely lead to any tangible changes or have any strong effects either in the United Kingdom or in the United States, taking a look at the overall attitudes of those involved with divorces can be revealing for many reasons.  Experts who have commented on this survey have pointed out that it’s often the men who bear the financial brunt of a divorce when it comes to dividing a marital estate or even paying for two separate residences for a period of time.
