Love is the best feeling on earth. It brings individuals together making them to live a happy life, have fun together and even have big dreams about their bright future.
For areas like Nairobi where life is hard especially in the slums, you need love too much.
But at one point in life there comes someday where love isn't the same again instead it makes people to break up due to various reasons.
Stereotypically, breakups and divorces are harder on men. Below are some of the reasons why breakups are tougher for men.
1. Sex makes men feel attached to their women
Sex releases bonding chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin into male and female brains and it's vasopressin that helps a man bond with a woman sexually. This is where famous male possessiveness comes from.
2. Love is an addiction
Love is an addiction. You must have your partner just near you to avoid feeling miserable. Being without his partner produces a feeling of loss and sigh to a man.
3. It leads to depression
Men mainly prefer keeping things to themselves. They don't like discussing their problems. Quite often men have problems with acknowledging the fact that they have problems. That's why there is higher suicide rate among men after breakups, they just don't discuss their problems the fact that they are depressed.
4. Finding hard to start a new relationship
It is not easy for men to start a new relationship after break ups. They are unable to maintain a successful relationship after a break up or divorce. That's why their next relationships are most likely to end up within a short period of time.
5. Change of lifestyle
Men are happy at first when they regain their lifestyle of a single in that they can do whatever they want at any time they feel like. But this leads to an unhealthy lifestyle because it can make men to have unlimited sexual partners, be alcoholic and even be sex addicts. Steady relationships encourage a healthy lifestyle that people quite often can't maintain on their own.
