But then look at the number of guys making videos or posting at various places who talk about trying to open up about their emotions to their wives/girlfriends only to have them sheet all over them for it. I have a friend who was going through some really bad stuff, decided to uncharacteristically open up to his wife about it and instead of getting a kind ear he got read the riot act about how it wasn't her job to handle his emotional burdens.
.Society pretends it wants men to be emotionally open and vulnerable but reality is often it's just better to soldier on because nobody in your life really wants to hear about it
Therapy helps somewhat. It's a better option than opening up to those around you because at least a therapist won't weaponize your weaknesses against you.
