    Keep in mind, just because someone “gets it” that guys can need emotional support, it doesn’t mean they have deprogrammed themselves from the patriarchy.

    In the very story in the post, the wife said she repeatedly brought it up to others and they (including women) still didn’t ACTUALLY provide support to her husband.

      If anything, “resisting the idea” sounds an awful lot like “not wanting to set yourself up for disappointment”.
