In the intricate dance of nurturing a family, where roles intertwine and emotions run deep, exists a silent burden often carried by men. It’s a load shaped by personal fears, one that whispers,
“She carries the mental load.
My work is rest.
I can’t put that on her.
She struggles more.
She’s already stressed enough.
I don’t want her to worry about me too.
She’ll see me as weak.
And you do what you’ve been taught: You bury it.“
