My mother had cancer when I was in high school. My Dad ended up crying when my grandmother was around over it. My grandmother then told my Mom that she didn't think he was up to being her husband through difficult times.
I have a lot of female friends. They will rip their boyfriends apart for vulnerable moments or emotional needs or economic inadequacies. One complained about him having to visit his dying aunt and leaving her alone for a weekend. Another called her boyfriend a loser for not making enough money for them to live in Vancouver proper (an expensive place). Heck, my mother has called my father as loser for "only" making about 250K a year (my parents live in a 1 million person LCOL city).

You go through this as a man and it reinforces your suppression of feelings and desires to never open up to anyone because of the humiliation. No wonder men kill themselves 4x as often as women.
- amanaplanacanal 4y agoFind better people to hang out with. Not everybody is like that. Do all you can to cut that sort of toxic behavior from your life.

- throwaway5959 4y agoCurious how much your mother makes and the girlfriend as well.
- throwawaysleep 4y agoMy mom is a stay at home mom. My friend is a non profit manager. I don’t know what she earns, but I don’t imagine it is six figures.
- throwaway5959 4y agoOooof. OK, thanks for delivering.
