I’m 47. I have 3 daughters and a wonderful wife. I know they all love me and care for me, but when I express concerns or that I need help, I don’t get it. It’s not that they don’t care. I know they all do , a lot. I just also feel like when I get cranky or short with them because I’m stressed, then I tell them I’m stressed. I never get a " What can I do to help out?". I’ve been to therapy for years. I know how to communicate fairly well. So it’s not like I haven’t expressed what I need. I just think it’s a fundamental difference between most men and most women. I can get reprieve with some buddies here and there. Though being my age, feelings with friends isn’t easy. I dunno maybe it’s just me, I just figured I’d ask. submitted by /u/Sad_Invite6191
