Why do men turn to addictions after break up? (Page 2)

Question

My ex lived a healthy exemplary lifestyle when we were together, never smoked, never drank, after break up he often visited his parents drunk which was very uncommon of him and I’ve now heard he got addicted to cigarettes after break up.  He never smoke when we were together, he smoked first time the day when we broke up.  Now he’s in a new relationship, where I’d suppose he’s happy.  He called me today though, feeling nostalgic and I found out he’s been addicted to cigarettes for 1.5 year already.  I feel like before cigarettes he was sort of addicted to me and he kind of changed the subjects of addictions .  I hate smoking!!!

Sounds like he has an addictive personality. At least cigarettes are less toxic than shallow women.

People. Not just men.  People do it to try and forget the pain they are in.

DreamLife7 · Answer

Because he felt free and didn't have to deal with your insecurities and control. So he decided to enjoy his life like he always wanted after he dumped you

justabuddy · Answer

The same reason other weman do... a temporary release of the pain. Cigarettes would be a chemical release but some people even use physical hookups to help. It not healthy either way, but building that tolerance to pain takes time.

Why do women constantly ask "Why do men.." questions?

Anonymous · Answer

Most men do not do that. Believe it or not statistically the rates of addiction and mental health problems are double that among women VS men.
