Divorcees...?

I would suspect that staying in an unsatisfactory marriage actually causes more health problems. At the very least, it can be proven to cause boredom, stagnation, and resentment, all of which can have real physiological effects.

This is part of the stigma that the word "divorce" has. It commonly carries connotations of "the end", "death" and "failure" rather than "the beginning", "rebirth" and "opportunity". If someone believes in the first set, they are probably more likely to develop unhealthy symptoms, almost exclusively psychosometic. If they believe in the second persepective, they are more likely to overcome existing health problems and feel rejuvenated and "younger". Also, almost exclusively psychosomatic.

The example you cite is yet another great method of keeping unhealthy people in unhappy marriages, just because "god" or someone else might get pis$y.

I think it's the emotional bitterness that leads to stress and depression ...

my thoughts on this ....

I don´t think it causes permanent health problems.
You just end up with a bruised and broken heart but time and hindsight make everything better.

Am heading there but its amicable, so not always.

I think it is some of column a and some of column b. I know that my mom was seriously sick and scared during her divorce. She wanted total custody of my siblings and me and was worried my dad would get it. There are alot of things to worry about in a divorce and it can lead to high stress and sickness.

I had a friend that balloned up to 700 pounds over a divorce she ate ate ate whole cakes with icings and he was not worth it at all to her maybe. because he was the provider idk. he beat her up all the time.

It is emotionally draining. I have lost 15 pounds and dropped 2 dress sizes. Thats a good thing but not the way its happened. I cant eat or sleep. Cant stop crying - Dr put me on antidepresents but am having side affects with those. So I do believe that the stress or a Divorce can cause health problems.
