Do Men Actually Talk to Each Other About Break-Ups?

Men will talk about all kinds of things when no one is around to say "suck it up" or "man up". We're not going to chatter endlessly, but I've been a part of some pretty serious discussions about breakups.

Men are much more likely to kill themselves after a divorce, so IMO it's obviously a big deal worth talking about.

In my experience, not really. There is nothing to say. I am not going to talk shit about them, I don't want to do that to a person, and I would wish they wouldn't do it to me. So really it's more of a, "yeah we split up" and then maybe a well that sucks, if you need to talk let me know.

In my experience my “friends” wait for me to break up with my girlfriends so they can get their chance with them and then stop talking to me. Then it goes sour and suddenly they want to hang out again.

So no, and I don’t have many friends any more.

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.


Rules

Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people


Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.



Be productive


Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.

Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:

  • Build upon the OP
  • Discuss concepts rather than semantics
  • No low effort comments
  • No personal attacks


Assume good faith


Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.



No bigotry


Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.



No brigading


Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.
