Stereotypes, get your stereotypes, fresh gender stereotypes right here.
Men who don't marry are gay and woman are always mad at each other over nothing.
The guy didn't explicitly say he married a woman, might still be gay.
My first thought ^^
Real
Also it's not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.
I'm 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn't even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.
What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don't have emotions, they don't talk about emotions, etc.
Donβt you cry or Iβll give you something to cry about.
Good for you!
Thanks, it's kind of weird how much change this made in a few months. It also really changed my relationship with my parents and made it less superficial. Can highly recommend to dig in your own past a bit and see what you pushed way down, and actually deal with it.
Thanks for the recommendation. I know it's something I need to do but I don't have the funds right now - working on that though!
I do meditation, journalling, but I know there's more to mental health than what you can do on your own.
And we wonder why there's a male loneliness epidemic
It's because of women hating all men of course.
Something something space lasers!
