This is a disparity that I’ve noticed in the discourse surrounding “emotional labor”; it’s something that women often talk about, often with good reason, but I never see men talking about it. I’ve almost always been the more emotionally mature person in my relationships, and I know from personal conversations that this is a real disparity that many men face, at least among good men, yet we never seem to talk about it. The preternatural patience, the guidance, the unspoken imperative to constantly self regulate even while our partner is melting down, the deferring of grieving to support them and be their “rock”, etc. submitted by /u/Dense_Owl_3022
