Intimate relationships serve as the cornerstone of emotional fulfillment and companionship for many individuals, yet they can also be a source of profound struggle and frustration.
One of the primary contributors to men's struggles in intimate relationships lies in societal expectations and gender norms. From a young age, men are often conditioned to embody characteristics of stoicism, emotional restraint, and dominance.
These traditional gender roles dictate that men should be the providers, protectors, and decision-makers within relationships.
However, such rigid expectations can create a sense of pressure and inadequacy for men who do not know themselves on a deep level or who seek to express vulnerability and emotional depth.
