英国调查显示：离婚后女人比男人更快乐

　　Women are far more likely than men to come out of divorce feeling liberated, relieved and happy, a study has shown.

　　Rather than feeling devastated at the end of their marriage, women are more likely to see the split as a fresh start but their former husbands remain stressed and unhappy even years after they receive their decree absolute.

　　Men are twice as likely as women to feel suicidal about their divorce, the survey of more than 3,000 people for the Yorkshire Building Society found.

　　More than 150,000 couples divorce every year in Britain, and two out of three marriages fail.

　　The people in the survey were divided into two groups, those who had divorced in the past two years and those who had been divorced longer.

　　More than half (53 per cent) of the women who had divorced in the past two years said they were relieved, compared to only 46 per cent of the men. Four out of 10 women said they felt liberated, but only a third of men eperienced the similar emotion.

　　Men had double the level of suicidal feelings, with 7 per cent saying they had considered taking their own lives. Former husbands were also far more likely than former wives to experience feelings of sadness, confusion and betrayal.

　　More than half the men (56 per cent) said they felt sad at the failure of their union but only 45 per cent of women felt that way.

　　Even years after divorce, men were still more likely than women to feel unhappy, with 41 per cent of long-time divorced males saying they felt sad compared to a third of their female counterparts. A quarter of the longer-term ex-husbands retained a sense of betrayal, but 80 per cent of women felt no such emotion.

　　Six out of 10 women spent more time with their friends and family, but men were twice as likely to have casual sex, call an old flame or join a dating agency.

　　Rachel Court, head of mortgages at the Yorkshire Building Society, said: "The differences are startling. Women simply appear to be stronger than men through a break-up and after." The building society is offering a "Fresh Start" mortgage tailored to people coming out of a messy break-up or divorce.

　　英国最新公布的一项研究显示，女人在离婚后的心情要远远好于男人，她们会感到无拘无束、轻松愉快。

　　据《独立报》7月4日报道，此项调查是由英国约克郡建房互助协会组织实施的，涉及的离异人数超过3000。研究人员将调查对象分为两组：在过去两年以内离婚的为一组，而在更久以前离婚的则为另一组。

　　在那些过去2年内离过婚的女人中，有超过一半（53％）的人声称自己心情轻松，与之相比，同组男人中的此项比例仅为46％。40％的女人表示她们有一种彻底解脱的感觉，而只有三分之一的男人有过同类感受。

　　当一段婚姻走到尽头的时候，女人一般不会感到天崩地裂，她们更有可能将两个人的分手看做一个新的开始，而她们的前夫们则在接到法院判决数年后仍会感到压力重重且心情不快。调查发现，男人由于离婚而产生自杀念头的可能性是女人的两倍。7％的男人承认他们曾想亲手结束自己的生命。

　　那些从前的丈夫们产生悲伤、错乱及被背叛感的可能性要远大于那些从前的妻子们。超过一半的男人（56％）表示他们会对其婚姻失败感到悲伤，但有此种感觉的女人仅为45％。即使在离婚数年后，男人感到闷闷不乐的可能性仍会远远大于女人，在那些长期处于离异状态下的男性中，有41％的人表示他们感到十分悲哀，而在同样处境的女人当中，此一比例只有三分之一。在那些已很久不做丈夫的男人中，四分之一的人会始终感到一种被背叛感，而在可资对照的女性群体里，80％的人从无此种感觉。

　　60％的女人在离婚后会将更多的时间花在朋友和家庭上，而离婚男人发生一夜情、寻访旧情人或求助于婚介机构的概率则是女人的两倍。

　　在英国，每年有超过15万对夫妇离婚，三分之二的婚姻以失败而告终。约克郡建房互助协会抵押贷款部的主管雷切尔·考特表示：“男人与女人在这一问题上所显现出的差异令人吃惊。女人在离婚当时及其以后的表现显然要比男人坚强一些。”该机构已经开始提供一种名为“全新开始”的抵押贷款，它是专门为那些刚刚走出离婚困境的人们量身定做的。
