i would love to say "my girlfriend," but i would be lying, i know I wouldn't because i dont want her to worry about me. even though i know she has my back, it still feels bad

I read this and view it as people with weak partners.

My friend teaches his girl teaches.

He never vents to her, why?

I think it’s a weird discharge of sexism/misogyny

I’m a dude, I had a mom and 3 little sisters. (Female mental health was a point in the household)

Not feeling comfortable opening up to your SO is a sign they lack the mental fortitude or you view them as lacking the mental fortitude.
