The emotional rollercoaster that young couples have experienced in a relationship affects them differently. Men are believed to be aggressors and are usually dominant in a relationship, while women are passionate and more emotional when it comes to relationship. However, this can be labeled as stereotyping when it is usually quite the opposite. Men are capable of being vulnerable during an ongoing relationship. More men experience emotional distress from a bad relationship than women. The psychological mindset and state of well-being have certainly influenced their judgment on how they should behave when it comes to a relationship. To some extent, the romantic relationship provides social identity value and enhances feelings of self-worth. When their relationship is falling apart, his sense of self-worth will affect him more than his partner, therefore, an increasing number of men experience the effect of romantic drama more than women. Psychological well-being in men influenced relationship behavior leading to mental health outcomes. According to Debra, Meichu, James, Kristine, and Ellen (1996), social support and social integration have been shown to be linked to mental health outcomes. Women are likely to receive more support from family, friends and colleagues, but however these findings are inconsistent regarding social support. As many other studies have shown, women and men receive a similar level of social support. This previous research on gender differences was incomplete and the examination had not been fully conducted. Previous research may have focused on the relationship of the support aspect but not the tension aspect. Other research may not examine the outcome… half of the paper… hypotheses were formulated, one of which included the relationship between relational victimization and relational aggression related to mental health problems (p. 254).
