Their feelings

Society has attributed vulnerability to women. So much so that if men show any signs of it, they are considered cowards and not strong enough. That’s why men put on their toy soldier suits and act like the manly men they are supposed to be.

When in a relationship, men usually hide their feelings to avoid looking like a softie. It’s easier to say that nothing is wrong and move on. Only that they cannot move on for real, accumulating frustrations and anger until they can no longer hold the feelings in.

According to Sara Stanizai, a licensed psychotherapist and the owner of Prospect Therapy, “Men often feel they should be able to handle something on their own and don’t want to ‘bother’ their partner will the inconvenience of their feelings.”
