Anthony Astbury argues that men without partners—divorced or single—are experiencing increased isolation due to the rise in working from home. He highlights loss of routine, commuting, and day-to-day social mingling (previously provided by work or family), which can erode men's sense of identity and connection.
Several of the guys I've spoke to who don't have a partner, regardless of whether they got divorced or not. That's the problem is, I mean, especially in the last few years, where the working from home kind of numbers have increased, and what you've seen is some companies that have technically forced their employees to work from home. But if you haven't got a partner and now you haven't got an office to go into and a commute and stuff like that, for, for a lot of men, you end up losing that routine of the family routine of the wife routine of going to work, and you lose a bit of your. I don't. Again, I guess better word than identity, because you're also not mingling with people.
