    in a romantic relationship both people should be able to share their emotions and receive support

    Expecting your partner to be your personal therapist is not cool

    I was replying to someone up there who was shitting on men with emotions. Because they equated having them with being a bad partner. My point is that emotions are normal and wanting an emotionally supportive partner isn’t the same as treating them like a therapist.

      Who was shitting on men with emotions? I haven’t seen that at all.

      We agree on that, you can do one without doing the other.
