DIVORCED PORTUGUESE MEN GET INTERNET SURVIVAL GUIDE

Change your bed sheets once a week, keep pans near the cooker and never wash white clothes with dark ones.

That is just some of the advice you can find on a popular new Internet site designed to help recently divorced Portuguese men do the housework which their wives did for them when they were married.

Men in Portugal usually live with their parents, where their mothers usually do most if not all of the cooking and cleaning. They often live at home until they get married. And, when they finally marry, most of men leave housework to their wives.

According to a recent study, married men in Portugal do less work around the house than in any other European Union country. But with the number of divorces rising rapidly in Portugal –there were 27.960 divorces last year in a country of just over 10 million people- thousands of men are having to iron their clothes and make dinner for the first time in their lives.

Many of these newly divorced men have turned to the website, called Vida-On, for advice on what for them were “women’s worries”. On the website they can find out which bathroom cleaner works best or how to clean a stain from a white shirt.

The most popular feature is a section offering recipes for beginners in the kitchen. The recipes are divided into those that are easy, for “normal days” and more difficult ones for “special days”.

In addition to domestic tips, the site gives advice for men who are worried about starting to date again. Other sections offer health and beauty tips as well as an entertainment guide for the newly single man. “The topics are not covered in traditional men’s magazines, and women’s magazines write about them in a completely different way”, said Oliveira.
