yea no shyt.....but thats not the definition of being able to confide in someone ...

isn't that the premise of the thread :what:
Confiding has a limit. Your woman is not your therapist and she ain't your boy. Be slightly vulnerable? Sure. Tell hard shyt like I lost my job and I'm scared for the future? No. If that's your definition of confide then yeah, don't confide in women.

If you've already given her a title and a certain level of obligation to even entertain what you just said, you're taking her serious. Anything else is juelzing.
In my opinion, there is a big difference between girlfriend and wife.

I guess the definition is open to interpretation :skip:

I think what you're trying to say confuscious is don't be a soft ass bytch in front of wifey; I can get behind that.... even tho its irrelevant.


edit: wait hold up you're advising people to lie 2 wifey about losing a job :mjlol:

u 1 of them brehs who packs a lunch and drives off and sits in a parking lot "pretending" to go 2 work every day huh :dead:

I'm an old head (52), I've been with my wife 30 years (married 25) she doesnt throw SERIOUS things in my face that I've confided in her about, however, I have a co-worker whose a mean a$$hole , I'll call him "Smith" ...I dont like the guy, whenever we have a disagreement she'll say "Your being mean like Smith". I dont like it when she does this, I asked her to stop doing it, she's cut back a lot but not %100 and its starting to irritate me. So I kind of agree with Shaq and I kind of dont.

There's nothing wrong with opening up or confiding in your woman. The notion that it "shows weakness" is absolutely ridiculous.

Some of the nonsense in this thread :snoop:


How tf are you walking around feelin weak but pretending to be strong and won't talk to the closest person in your life about it? :dahell: that's not being a man that's being stupid

I think if it's your wife she should know you lost your job as it affects her but you're selective in what you say. You don't tell her about the stress or pressure. You just hustle. She shouldn't feel any anxiety.

In my opinion a part of being a man is self sacrifice. Women are naturally more prone to depression and anxiety. As a man it's your job to not burden your woman with extra anxiety and emotional labor. So if there's a problem you fukking fix it. You do not wallow. Whether the water pipes need to be winterized or if you lost your job. You just get up and find a solution. Nothing more, nothing less.

And none of the advice is coming from dudes in a relationship. Most isn't coming from dudes who have ever been in a successful relationship. Just the most generic OG advice from dudes who don't get women. As mentioned before in this thread, Shaq was cheating on his wife nonstop. Why would anyone take his advice on this shyt? What love or intimacy is on display when your wife knows you're a piece of shyt but is trying to stay for the kids (and money lol). Why would that person show you any grace, give you any good advice, or want you confiding in her. She'd resent you, and rightfully so.

She's trying to manipulate and get under your skin.

You act like this comes just from Shaq when we know men married for decades that have the same mentality. You are being willfully ignorant and have been warned.

You brothers trying to be buddy buddy with your lady gonna learn.

They kill me with this shyt. "I never encountered a woman like that, so I doubt they really exist. Women don't treat guys like me that way, so it must be you."
I'm just now seeing this, but it's not even "I never encountered", they take the 2-3 outlier women out 25 they've ever dealt with and try to project that as the norm or a sizeable ratio.

1) A defense mechanism for what they perceive as red pill/incel rhetoric
2) Relationship insulation and belief the negative won't happen to them
3) Militancy

Are what is comes down to.
