I'll never get it out of my head. The top reply: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/cb0v65/cmv_in_heterosexual_relationships_the_problem/
How many times I've had a partner say that she wants me to "show more emotion", but what she actually means is that she requires me to display the appropriate level of emotion (to suit her needs). She wanted me to cry manly tears, or show a tiny sliver of vulnerability, or a little badge of indignant anger. But never outright sobbing, never bone-dead existential dread, never furious scary rage. Those emotions are inconvenient and not useful, right? Spicy hot take: stuff like this gets swept under the rug because it's not en vogue to point out that women might be main the source of men's issues some of the time. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ...

I'm glad that I've mostly had the fortune to meet women who give a damn about my emotional well-being. I feel like most men and women try to suit themselves, particularly their emotions to what the other sex wants and end up in this sort of emotional quagmire where neither side can truly express what they want from the other side or even understand eachother on the subject. (Often times making eachother miserable) Usually leaving one side to be more emotionally available than the other (often based on preconceived notions of what the other side wants) Typically it is best to grow emotionally with your partner in my experience and open up as they do, like all other aspects of a relationship where you should be able to match them and grow with them on this. Neither side should need to feel emotionally repressed based on the others emotional preferences. My opinion anyways. --- I do drawings and stuff https://www.fiverr.com/blueblitz ...

itachi15243 posted... I'm glad that I've mostly had the fortune to meet women who give a damn about my emotional well-being. I have a loving partner who does care about my emotional well-being, but at times I still see the socialised expectation of what men are/should be in there. When I brought up this topic to her, she said "you know, one of my favourite memories is when my dad cried at the birth of my son". I think what she was trying to say is that it's ok for men to be vulnerable. And all I could think was...you mean to say he showed the correct amount of emotion at the appropriate time? --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's definitely some grains of truth in that, but I'd be cautious about taking it as "this is the norm" rather than just "this is a thing that does sometimes happen". --- The only thing we have to fear is Trumble itself. http://error1355.com/ce/Trumble.html ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont think its fair to put this on all women as Ive certainly known some where this doesnt apply. However, Ive known no shortage where it does. Its just another way of perpetuating toxic masculinity, which women do just as routinely as men, even if their methods differ. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ok what the hell , this is the second topic and article in the same day to use the similar sounding n-word to mean "needling over small issues" It's not really that common a word to be that frequent ... Copied to Clipboard!

Glob posted... I dont think its fair to put this on all women as Ive certainly known some where this doesnt apply. However, Ive known no shortage where it does. It should be implicit that this does not mean all women, just a thing that women do or that men experience from women. Like when we talk about men being creepy towards women on public transport, it's understood that not every man does this. Noumas posted... Ok what the hell , this is the second topic and article in the same day to use the similar sounding n-word to mean "needling over small issues" This is honestly the first time I've ever heard anyone take issue with that word and I've been using it all my life, but it may be a british slang thing --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ...
