Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden
This is such a good read for women AND men. It really hit home. I’ve noticed as I’ve grown older that as a guy, I take on fewer friends and I notice that my partner does take on many roles. I never really thought of it this way. It’s no wonder why marriage can be so hard. Our role as a partner can change or increase with age and with it can bring stress, loneliness and exhaustion. Being in a relationship can be the loneliest time ever. There is no blame to be laid in how this develops other than the huge expectations we have been conditioned to expect from a partner.
How do we get our men to open up to other guys, therapists, or groups? This article could be a good starting point.
