Asian Men Are Dependent on Wives

I was browsing through the net looking for my favourite Japanese comics, and came across this article.

Wondering if more people, especially Singaporean girls get to read about this, will they "raise their price tags" ?

But then again, don't you think in any relationship, people gets dependent to a certain extent with a different degree of emotional dependent too?

We heard so much of course, women could endure pain more than men, so they probably take crisis better than us too ... so guys, know this, the daily gym routine can only build our body, we need to build our emotional strength too. :)

Not too long a go, Japan was shocked when well-known critic Eto June committed suicide after his wife's death. His wife had died in November last year. June's death was reported in Korea, and many similar sentiments were aroused among men. An interesting study from Japan explains that losing a life partner is the absolute stress in men, and widowers suffer more from the loss than widows.

According to Mr. Matujiwa, director of Matujiwa Mental Health Research Center (Kyodo), Asian men and women react differently to the death of their spouses. After the death of a spouse, women will be in the state of manic sadness, unable to do anything. But after certain period of time, they will get over the situation and get on with their lives. Widowers will be able to control themselves, but later on depression will strike, and they will be disabled by the stress of being alone, and by nostalgia for their wives.

According to Matujiwa's report, this period of loneliness takes men to extreme stress, can lead to depression and create internal health problems, which sometimes lead to death.

"Asian men see their mother through their wives," said Majujiwa, "and Asian men are more emotionally dependent on their wives." His advice to men who are going through extreme stress due to loss of their wives?

"Getting a pet is an excellent idea," he said. "By providing love, care and responsibility, one can overcome the stress and find comfort in life."
