Men Also Cry!!! by Omokowa(m): 2:51pm On Apr 14, 2022
MEN HAVE PAINS TOO
A woman said to me, 'It took me years to really know that men cry too. I took my husband for a super human. I see him leave the house everyday and come back providing for us. One day as I have left the house and he was at home, I remembered that I needed to take something along, I turned back and headed home. As I got home, I tried going through the back door which was closer to the window of our room. I heard my husband crying like a baby asking God to help me get a job so I can help him fend for the family. He has never complained to me before but that day, I broke down in tears realizing that my husband has held much of his pains alone"
A young married lady went to her mother and complained that her husband has not always bought things she wanted from him. The mother asked her, 'How many of those things have you bought for yourself?". She stayed quiet and said, 'But he is my husband?". The mother replied her, 'Have you ever found out the things your husband wants you to buy for him?".
Men always try to hide their pains.
Men can be financially broke and pretend to have everything.
Most men are married but they have lonely life. Sometimes, ask your husband out. Men are not always busy as women think.
You have to understand that your husband has pains and needs too. Don't judge him by things you want from him. Sometimes, your husband doesn't have things you want.
Men also have emotional needs and problems. Men still cry for love...

That's me. All my neighbours think I'm a billionaire. cheesy

One Nigerian girl billed me 300K last week. I was shocked. Was wondering the part of my lifestyle that made her think I have 300k to waste on a fish brain!

I like your post OP... But so u know, a lot of us don't pretend anymore... We kind of speak out nowadays... The era of suffering and smiling has passed.. it's a new dawn smiley
It doesn't matter if one is living a lowlife or a highlife... As long as you are living your life to the fullest...Cry, smile, laugh in your relationship.. all are emotions as long as you are not faking it to please your spouse...

Ahn ahn Richy, did you not receive the memo that men are not emotional just logical? Some forum men will have us believe only we are emotional, but of course we know better tongue.

There is nothing new in the original post that most of us (sensible women) didn't know already, the real surprise for me, is how majority of you (men) like to carry on as if you are not made of flesh and blood, and you are incapable of tears or showing real emotion.

Always acting macho, claiming logical and forming voltron up and down the place, but in reality what most of you want is to love and be loved, to be touched, held and cuddled.

Make una dey fool una selves there, when e choke you either communicate your needs or quench. Either way, we move. No time for grown men who don't know how to ask for what they need.
smiley smiley
Some of us are just cool and collected though deep down, the pain is so unbearable... it's safe to say some hides their emotions better than others.. And unfortunately for me, I don't know how to hide my emotions... My family will only look at my face and they can tell when I'm sad.. Even in my place of work, I'm always cheerful but some times it's not really easy...

It will take a lot to make me cry though...The last time I cried, I was 11.. the first day I set my foot in boarding school... The school was serving Amala and dry Okro soup for dinner.. I have never seen Amala before, nor ever tasted dry Okro...I walked out of the dinning Hall in a dignified manner with hot tears as I was imagining what my siblings were eating at that time... That was my last cry... It's memorable grin

If they say men don't cry, it might be true because many are extremely good in hiding emotions not that they don't feel pains .. trust me we all do...

Stop saying trash and taking direct or indirect swipes at men always. As much as I do not hold brief for any wannabe woke man and person, the fact remains that to be disposed to emotional expression is different from living on emotion. On the latter - living on emotion - women are accustomed to it, while men are accustomed to living on logic. Of course, there is always an exception.

On the former - to be disposed to emotional expression - however, which is what the thread is all about, any man (or woman), no matter how seemingly hard of soft he appears, who does not exhibit it where and when necessary and expected is simply a pretender who masks his real self with a disingenuous demeanor and will always have a penchant for living in regret, constant crying in secret, and meting out treacherous and pernicious acts in general, especially when least expected.

By the way, on this "most of us (sensible women)," I wonder who gave you the impression that you are sensible, lol.

Lol, nonsense woman. It has been a while. Meanwhile, without disrespect to people who are engaged "in bend-down boutique business," only in your wildest dreams would I be involved in such.

In fact, you have just validated the universal assertion that women are accustomed to live on emotion, lol.



Oga me and you know say your job no pass market square, no dey argue

And you just replied me with emotions na, abi your aggressive reply is not an emotion, "cam dan" nobody is e-fighting with you, learn to accept and counter comments without insults either subtle or direct, e no hard.

JJ cheesy,

It has indeed been a while, I was wondering what happened to you?

A ban never even crossed my mind, I thought you were taking an intentional break from NL. You are back from a ban and curting another one, abi? grin How have you been? What plans do you have for Easter?

I saw that mention of me and the first thought that came to my mind was - if you throw stones at every dog that barks at you, you may never reach your destination. Like Ebuka said, ignore a troll e dey pain.


Easter plans are with my family, no energy to travel anywhere, time away from this place was not that bad to be honest, it was necessary

But my being back is to ignore some trolls and bully some to Oblivion, but I get you, some are not worth the time and energy

Enjoy

The fact that you did not counter my post with fact but rather chose a side because I told a bitter truth to a female moniker is what it means to live on emotion; thus, my mention of it in the last paragraph. My post did not connote that I live on emotion instead it connotes my disposition to emotional expression. Calm down and learn something, woman.

Re: Men Also Cry!!! by akmath: 6:56pm On Apr 14, 2022
OP nice piece I must confess. But the problem most times is that African men don't really know what they want. You don't marry a woman that doesn't have a job and expect miracles to happen overnight. Those whose wives are jobless complain about them not contributing financially at home and those whose wives are working and contributing financially at home complain that their wives don't do house chores.



If you want a house wife be ready to provide the money for the running of the home .

And if you want a working class wife be ready to assist her in doing some house chores. And if enough money is flowing in from both ends then get house helps.

Wimpish!

There's an ongoing campaign at demystifying men, bridging the gender gap on the emotional, psychological, mental and physiological levels.

Real men don't cry. Doesn't matter how few they are left in a world where balls are now surgically modified to be holes.

I don't lie about my pain to my woman. In fact I broke down and cried in front of her the day I heard my boss and mentor at work for the last 9 years died. Na she comfort me and if I broke I tell her hoha I no get money, no playing super hero when I don't have.

Perfect. There’s need for a balance. There are times to be strong and be the hero and there are time to be vulnerable and let yourself be taken care of. It’s just human.

Men are not mysterious. Just human

Things like this are why men have a higher successful suicide rate than women.
Also the reason why young boys will die before they talk about their sexual assault at the hands of older men and women. Because they feel they can’t be seen as weak. Whereas it’s nothing to do with weakness.

Correct. I agree. The first man who went blind on my street where our family house is, was told by the doctor that part of his problem was caused by holding back tears over many years. Doctor said tears is a cleansing therapy for the eyes. I no shame that day the news hit me hard, grateful for my girl as well.
