That mentality is 100% part of the reason male suicide rates are higher.
I have plenty of fulfilling emotional relationships with my guy friends. It’s a support network. We work together and help each other out. I’d have no problems talking to them about anything and they bring me everything they need to talk about.
As far as insecurities in relationships go, if I can’t be honest with my girlfriend/wife about my life then it’s a pointless relationship imo. Spending my life with someone I can never be truly open with seems like a living hell. I’ve made a point in all my relationships to be vulnerable and realistic over the years, and if they don’t like it I move on.
Your rant is validated, but if you are in situationships where you can’t be yourself I advise you go find the ones where you can
