Woman Calls Boyfriend Weak for Opening Up About Life Problems, He Accuses Her of Having False Notions of Masculinity, Causing Relationship Decline

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In 2024, the structure and skeleton of tradition is being dismantled in every way, shape, and form. From courting, to the workplace, to how political figures communicate and conduct themselves, everything is being flipped on its side in this progressive, technologically booming era. One of the strongest changes has been how gender norms are defined and understood. When 50 years ago it was socially unacceptable for a man to show emotion, more and more people are speaking up about the inequalities for masculinity and femininity. Women don't have to shave, and men are allowed to cry. 

This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this story, the original poster (OP) is a man who feels like these outdated gender norms are affecting his relationship for the worst. When he tries to open up to his girlfriend and be vulnerable, she tells him he's making her feel unsafe. Maybe she's just a narcissist, but you'll have to read the full story below to find out.
