Spot on. The first time I got laid off while married to my wife, I waited for over a week before I told her. She found that puzzling. I'd done that so that by the time I told her, I'd already fully processed the bad news on my own, and had become ready to fully handle it on my own without expecting any specific reaction from her side (Yes, that includes sticking with me). I was actually transparent with her when I addressed her puzzlement. I told her that it is my belief that men and women are wired differently, and that as a man, life teaches you the hard way that you can't afford to offload your burdens onto anyone else and expect that to go well (a women's privilege that most of them take for granted). My wife belongs to that rare tier that Orion added as a caveat. She's so mature and I never felt her faltering, but I know that I too do my homework, and I doubt it would have gone the same if I had been too complacent. Orion is on point about this. As man, there is that subtext that requires you to be "the rock" in the relationship, whether it is written with visible or invisible ink, you know it is there in the deal between you and your woman.

IMHO. When guys are young, most of us are much more emotional than we are willing to admit, or even realize. When we get those first tastes of rejection, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. It can really bring out the worst in us. Jealousy, anger, violence, hopelessness, self pity. It’s terrible, and it seems to last forever. Think of it as one of the many fires you’ll have to walk through on your journey from boyhood, to adulthood. From a fresh faced newbie on the front line, to the weathered, stoic old soldier. Learn from your mistakes. Try not to repeat them.
