Men's Dominant Response to the Death of Their Spouse

Men usually function much better if they get remarried with an ear. Men tend to have one truly intimate relationship and when that's gone, even if it wasn't a very good relationship, men are kind of emotional camels,. They can take that, whatever was good, and kind of carry it through the desert of the relationship - even when things were bad. That's often a man's only life, lying into a intimacy. Very few men have genuinely intimate relationships with other men, unless that man is gay, in which case he has a genuinely intimate relationship with his partner.
