Research shows well-being varies after romantic dissolution based on group marginalization and resilience capacity, suggesting a nuanced understanding.
The negative effects of oppressive societal narratives on well-being, as illustrated by research on fear of being single, provide contradictory evidence to the claim that men suffer more after romantic dissolutions. We propose that well-being after romantic dissolution is not dependent on gender, but on whether the individual belongs to a marginalised group and their capacity for social resilience.
