No youre right. Im not gonna lie, the only person i feel any where near confortable opening up to is my S.O. before that it was eithwr hold it in or go find somewhere to be alone.

Men arent socially allowed to break down. We're supposed to be the stronger sex, the ones that hold themswlves together under pressure. However, after a while of not being able to release that pressure, it builds up. It gets to us and often the only people we have who will actually be there when we break down is the woman in our lives.

As for not giving support back, well i cant say much in that regard other than those who do this are shitty people. I always try to be there for my S.O. even if i cant offer any words of advice or wisdom, i can still be there to comfort her, to embrace her for who she is. Its not much but it helps.
