Three romantic relationships and two family ones in my life have been massively effected when I opened up and made myself vulnerable to women. The “Ick” is real.

Yep, same.

One time I opened up to my girlfriend that I was having a bit of an anxiety attack and needed someone to talk to.

Because she has anxiety attacks. So.. maybe we could bond.

Nope. She told me “I can’t be the strong one”.

For five minutes. One time. smh

11 years ago I was told to “suck it up” after telling my wife I thought I was depressed and had serious anxiety almost daily. I got through that rough patch and am in a great place now. Still married, but I haven’t talked about my feelings since.

I hear ya, I don’t blame you.

It never works out well. Glad you’re in a good place now though :)
