    Because nobody wants men to be emotional. When I started opening up is when my marriage started falling apart lol

      Yeah as I said… emotional education should not be only for boys.

      Sorry mate (or congratulation… depending from the context 🙂)

        Most women want someone very emotionally stable

                No of course they aren’t. Who said they are?

                I’m saying women are put off my emotional instability aka “showing your feelings”

                  Women aren’t a monolith, just as men aren’t. There are women who will appreciate your emotional openness, especially if you are able to regulate and communicate those emotions in a healthy way.

                  Edit to add: my relationship to my husband has only grown deeper as he has learnt to better access and express his emotions. In particular, he is working on accessing emotions other than anger, and this has really helped us grow our connection.
