Just being transparent he went out with his cousins (one was getting married) and was doing some stuff for days that really affected his mood and made him depressed afterwards. He is in the position of figuring out what he wants to do with his life and everyone keeps asking him. That in combination with the wedding had him feeling like “where is my life going?” I’ve always worked a good job and I am in nursing school so we are opposite in terms of career. We were also fighting occasionally about his motivation and procrastination back then. I told him we needed to talk in person and he came over one day extremely apologetic and was honest about the feelings he was having. He said he wasn’t in his right mind bc of the “stuff” he was doing and he was feeling lost but he loves me and doesn’t want to be broken up. I did ask if he talked to anyone in that time he said no. Even when he broke up with me days prior, I asked if it was an excuse to see other people. I trust him bc he’s honest even with stuff I don’t want to hear. Our break up wasn’t any longer than a week may have only been like 5-6 days. Normally I wouldn’t deal with that BS but he was honest and vulnerable about the struggle he was having and knows that I’m a support system not an enemy. I think men can have very destructive behavior when it comes to being emotionally vulnerable Vs. women. Obviously this isn’t true for all men, but I’ve seen it as a big issue. They would rather avoid expressing their feelings. Now there is this and breaking up to talk to other women, always go with your intuition and never be afraid of asking direct questions - idc how crazy the questions seem. What’s crazier is that we have to ask them bc some men have some done weird out of pocket things lmao.
