"A new study finds that men and women do “use” romantic relationships differently, insofar as relationships shape one’s self-concept differently for men and women. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, and may just give us a little better understanding of what makes men and women tick when it comes to relationships. Men tend to define themselves less by their relationships than by other areas in their lives (namely, work) according to research; but other research suggests that men may actually cling more to their relationships than women do and that their mental health is more tightly tied to their relationships than women’s. The results of the study may help explain why men are less likely than women to voice unhappiness within a marriage."
