Girls, would it bother you or be off-putting if your boyfriend/husband regularly vented to you?

[Anonymous]

As a man complaining about your problems seems like woman repellent even if you're already together

Yes but I would listen anyway

Yes and I wouldn't listen

No it wouldn't bother me

Not at all, I’d love to be present, attentive, and listen to my partner as I hold them close or hold their hands. I’d want them to feel comfortable to share what’s on their mind and what’s bothering them. I’d wanna be able to make them feel better. Vulnerability is hard yet it’s also very attractive when a man can be emotionally aware and expressive. Last but not least, one of the most important things in a relationship is being supportive of each other and having companionship.

That definitely wouldn’t be an issue because that just shows me you trust me enough to confide to me about any issue you’re having. Most men don’t like expressing their emotions or how they’re feeling due to society’s unrealistic idea of men having to be “tough” — resulting in most bottling up their emotions. We are all human, not robots so I would never feel bothered about my man venting to me about an issue he’s having.

As your partners you should be supporting each other. My man listens to me when I need to vent, and I listen to him. Sometimes I do have to prompt him to vent but he knows I am a safe harbour for him and he won't be judged. When he is done I hug him and ask if he feels better.

[Guccigabbana18]

No, because that's what any close relationship is about. It's about having a safe and non judgmental space to be yourself. That includes being able to get things off your chest that are bothering you. Now if he was bitching about other people to me, I might feel uncomfortable. But venting is totally fine and I'd like to support him through it.

No I would like a partner that we can come to each other for anything even just to vent. But men are dumb as fuck and keep all that shit bottled up and then if you vent to them they always try to give you suggestions to solve your problems when you just want them to listen, then they get mad at you for not taking their suggestions.

However, my son, 28, broke up with a woman who told him she didn't want to hear his problems and why was he always talking about things? It was strange to hear this. She sounded cold. But maybe it was mismatched personalities.

It wouldn’t bother me. We talk all the time…that’s what couples are for to love/support each other. I would NOT want him to go vent to other women.
or a gf…vent to other guys.

[IslaTheWitch]

I would prefer it if he did some sports than vented to me... I like to avoid unfortunate endings :D

[LazerBean]

No we vent to eachother as often as we feel like it.

I clicked A by mistake I meant to click C. I am sleepy. No, in fact it would be preferable.

[Altheavas]

I want him to vent to me about everything and anything that may seem unimportant.

[Nikki1989]

That wouldn't bother me at all. We discuss everything.
