My dude has a point. Dudes need to figure out how to talk about their issues rather than expecting whatever woman is nearest to be their mom.
Yeah. It's good to see men's support groups form here and there off the internet. Some real support that isn't baiting men into radical views.
Men can always care for each other and stop expecting women to do all the work.

I don't think therapy is a particularly good substitute for having loved ones you can be intimate with. Nor is relationships necessarily tools for learning to deal with every dysfunction that one could have.

Ok let me go, men, stop fighting battles no one asked you to, your lame ass warrior complex undermines your potential for kindness.
Who needs therapy when you can foist off all of your emotional needs on one person?
tbh in the world we live in i think we all need a bit of therapy. But relying on your partner exclusively for that is a bad idea in the long run. They can offer their support but at the end of the day they can't fix you and they definitely don't have the skills to guide you.

I need therapy. I also need intimacy. Since I cannot find intimacy, I am trying to make do with therapy.
Mother figure? So partners aren't supposed to be caring?
I think both parties are wrong here. Mothers do not need to be feminine or soft either. What the fuck does that even mean. FeMiNiNe sOFt women!!! It's just coded language for submissive, self-sacrificing domestic slave.
Or, y know, both? Most people need intimacy, but also if you have a problem, resolving it in therapy is a responsible and good option and we should stop the mental health stigma.
Heh, how bout those alphas, amirite?
it's insane how jreg (youtuber) gave me the most solid understanding of relationships that was so obvious that I couldn't believe we didn't understand already, it's a mixture of them all, it's not a partner or a good friend group or parents, it's to be able to have them all, a therapist can be a guiding figure a mentor and another node to release stress learn from mistakes and overall a decent person to be in contact with even if your thoughts were in control and you were in a good state of mind.
What a pleasant surprise among the defensive takes. Thank you for sharing it.
The most problematic situation seems to be when not having access to all of them and trying to push your partner into fulfilling all of these roles. To be your partner, parent and a friend(sometimes a therapist even). Sure it's nice of them if they can, but it shouldn't be their daily responsibility.
