Speaking from experience here, it’s honestly socially not acceptable in a lot of guy groups to be going to therapy, so a lot of guys go through things and are not able to get it worked out due to that social idea. Of course there is some guys who just wanna tough it out for some other reason, but it really is an important issue that men’s mental health is often minimized due to a variety of factors

Can’t speak for all guys but the idea of go to a therapist scares me at times, I’m not much of one to open up about my feelings and my trauma to my friends and loved ones never mind to a stranger. But I can say I don’t try to push it onto my partner, if I have a particularly bad day I may rant about it or if theres something bothering me I’d let the know but I that is the extent of it and my partner always can do the same thing with me.

That’s facts tbh. I’ve been trying to find a therapist for years. I started therapy as a kid and once I grew out of it. My therapist who specialized in kids no longer could see me. I have been trying for four years to find someone as good as her

Brother, you don’t have to tell people you are going to therapy to go to therapy. Just do virtual appointments. Expecting a woman to do unpaid labor while you blame all of your problems on what is “socially acceptable” is why you should partake in therapy.
