Wow, I wasn't expecting to come to the comments and see so much nastiness! What's the deal, fellow females?!?! 🤔
Seems to me the shitty response from women is exactly what this article was really about. Can we not step outside of ourselves for a moment?? Seriously. Way to invalidate the man- and you're own purposes...
Haven't we been telling men to open up to us, to feel their emotions, that being vulnerable is actually a sign of strength??
And then what do we do? The moment one man opens up about his experience (which is his experience and he doesn't need to validate every woman alive to make it qualify, does he?) We tell him he did it wrong, and grind him into the ground for it? For sharing who he is and how he feels and promptly gets slammed for doing so?

I commend you for sharing. Lately, I've been paying more attention to my partner and trying to understand him better (we have an unconventional relationship of sorts, different enough from the norm that this is something we both have done for the other for sheer survival of the relationship). Its a give and take, and not everything is about me. Sometimes it's about me, sometimes it's not. And that's okay!
I say, ignore the nasty comments that tell you your feelings aren't valid...
keep growing and learning!
