That was a lesson I had to learn. I wasn't expecting them be my therapist or anything, just I thought that I could share any and everything in a committed relationship. Turns out that's not a good idea for men. The only women willing to accept a man for everything he is, is a mother or a daughter. All other women will turn their back on you if you open up too much.

@richardburakov1998 I agree with quite a bit of what you said, except specifically the child/parent dynamic. letting kids choose and be praised for everything and have no structure imposed on them is a root cause of many of today's problems. as a parent, i'll let my child enjoy what they find "valuable" for a short time, but not let that be their focus. i don't push my child for things that benefit ME, but that which will benefit them in them in future. if you let kids pursue what they like, they'll have a fun couple of years and then a miserable deadend life. Also, many of the complaints of how men are viewed and "why do we just accept it instead of demanding change" is because it's simply human nature. it's built into our biology. you're natural instinct will turn you away from and not care for a man who appears weak and helpless. and we'll jump at the chance to protect a women or child who does. and likewise we are drawn to strong men who can lead and are capable. I used to be quite indecisive (still am a bit) but I noticed very curiously, people are much happier around someone who continually makes poor decisions, than someone who is slow to make any decision.

@Lilymoo88 that's unfortunate, and I'd think rare. Most men like the feeling of supporting their partner.
