Men Who Leave Their Families

Men Who Leave Their Families

The Dilemma of Family

Studies performed in Scotland show that women are instinctively attracted to the faces of men who want long-term relationships and that men are instinctively attracted to the faces of women who want one night stands. Might this explain why fifty percent of today’s marriages end in divorce? Perhaps now that women do not routinely die during child birth, and men are not routinely removed from wedded bliss by death, marriages are able to last long enough to break up naturally, without the aid of death and disaster.

Our ideal is to find a mate with whom we are able to love and respect, and who gives you the love and respect you crave—a companion who knows you better than anyone else does, and who is with you when you need him. Some marriages do appear to be that way. But for the majority of us, it is a matter of hit and miss. The man who is exciting when we are in our early twenties may not have the stability and the maturity to be able to contribute meaningfully during the child rearing years. And the man who proves to be stabile during those years may be so locked into his routine that he is unable to change gears in order to be that companion after the children have grown and started homes of their own.

The temptation for so many men, when they reach middle age, is to leave the first wife and move on to a younger woman, one who is beautiful and fertile, who makes him feel like a man again, as it were. The myth that sleeping with a younger woman will make a man young again is alive and well in our society. One would think that people with all their education would know better.

So, a lot of older men are starting young families, leaving the older women to fend for themselves and to find companionship wherever they can, sometimes with each other. We learn to deal with the heartache, for losing a relationship is never easy, only keeping in mind that it may be healthier to be alone than it is to maintain a relationship that is abusive, or hateful to us. The answers are seldom easy.
