I had a girlfriend once (briefly) who legit got mad at me for crying. Like, “stop that fucking shit” and walked out of the room mad.
She also believed that a guy resting their head on the girl’s shoulder or lap or whatever made them look weak.
Anyway, she’s gone and, last I knew, absolutely miserable.
My wife? Amazing and completely the opposite of the above. I don’t know wtf I was thinking before.
My nephew blames others when he has emotions. I’ll prolly end up killing him.
I’ll prolly end up…

I think the left person got scammed
For real - is that a new car for ants?
Been there, did that. Now we’re ten days into this Parenthood thing and will raise our boy to be as connected to his feelings as I can be.
Happy for you OP!
As a woman dating an amazing woman after dating a bunch of duds, both male and female… I feel seen. Sometimes I really don’t know how to react when she doesn’t get mad, mercilessly tease me, or take advantage of me when I am vulnerable. And we’ve been together for several years.
Feelings of a almost human nature? Congrats!
Is it possible to learn this power?
Hoping to find a woman like that, we both love each other for who we are, and that’s it. That’s life
for real though
I’m getting a divorce on the surface because she cheated on me.
but the reality is she isn’t ok with me sharing emotions, or being vulnerable.
fuck toxic masculinity, and it’s pervasive grip that has strangled so much
I feel like people are doing a disservice by using the phrase “toxic masculinity”
You can’t use that phrase without implying masculinity in general is a bad thing. Trying to draw a distinction between “masculinity” and “toxic masculinity” is using the same logic as the people that say “but you’re one of the good ones” when they’re talking to someone of [insert race, gender, religion, etc].
They’re toxic people that cause these problems. There’s nothing wrong with masculinity.
Toxic Masculinity is taking masculinity to the extreme, acting like the only masculine traits are those that are cold and lack emotion. It’s possible to be masculine but to also have emotions.
