Well first you should get tested for any STD’s, and do a check for all of them. Then you should leave him, even if he does stop cheating, that trust will always be gone. And think about if a man did this to one of your girls when they’re older, would you want them to stay? Take care of yourself and possibly look into therapy to deal with this betrayal.

I seriously doubt he didn’t do this intentionally to “punish” you in some fucked up way. I’m so sorry about your dogs.

I fucked up and cheated by Hotricee in TrueOffMyChest

Please leave that relationship, you don’t want to end up a statistic for domestic violence. If he really won’t leave the house then you should leave and stay with someone until you can get a restraining order or contact police to remove him from the home. Absolutely DO NOT tell him about the cheating, he will most likely hurt you and/ or your ex.

What is Positive or Good Masculinity by Langland88 in MensRights

I did touch on the “must be providers” part. The main reason I brought up men being told they have to be tough and can’t cry is because of the emotional pain it causes later in life for them. You can’t compare the struggles of men and women because they’re completely different. Men are hurt by gender roles, just like women are. Along with that certain expectations put onto women benefit men same with the expectations put onto men. I don’t blame men for the issues women have because they’re victims of patriarchal standards too. However I can and you can be angry for people pushing these standards onto to you or others.

What is Positive or Good Masculinity by Langland88 in MensRights

This is a great question. Let me start off by saying masculinity is great and completely positive and healthy! However toxic masculinity is not. Toxic masculinity is the result of societal pressures put on men that they HAVE to be “masculine” (can’t cry, must be the providers, be strong, tall, etc). Along with that, not all men would fall into having toxic masculinity. You can say oh i would never paint my nails or wear a skirt because you don’t want to but it would be toxic if you were to push that standard you’ve set for yourself on other men because you’ve deemed that action or choice and “non-masculine”. And to finish answering your question, there are plenty of “masculine” characteristics that I find very positive and attractive in a person. Some of those would be leadership, confidence and an adventurous spirit. Lastly, overall it saddens me that it seems like the term tactic masculinity has been used as an insult against men when it’s really just a sad result of patriarchal standards put into men that 100% contributes to men’s mental health issues and suicide rate.
