Why do men disappear when they’re stressed instead of just saying ‘I’m stressed’?

Because honestly a lot of times he’s just dismissed as far as what’s going on. If a man tells a girl I’m stressed because of x, y n z, the female will respond w so I’m stressed too because of this n that. Rather than saying ok, have a seat, take a shower or I’ll make you something to eat then listen, it’s met w resistance. Society expects a lot of men. Yes to some degree w women but not to the standard of most men. You’re not expected to provide protection, to provide financially, to fix all the problems, etc, etc. It’s not a cowardly thing like some girl said. Always love when women say what they think it is when it comes to men who should be answering. Yes I will say that other men in general put this pressure on other men as well, so we have sort to deal w it. But a lot of times when a man expresses his concerns or opinions it’s just see as him complaining, labeled as he’s not even a real man. Especially when it comes to him expressing something about your relationship ship that relates to you. Women don’t like it. If he calls out her bad behavior she takes offense to it, now she doesn’t like him being honest. I mean hell I’ve answered a lot of questions on here about why we as men do this or that. Only to be met w oh no that’s not it. That can’t be the reason. Ok why am I even talking if you won’t even take a man’s response as the answer. Happened earlier, as a matter of fact she blocked me. It wasn’t a rude response, no cussing or things like that. Of course to her she probably took it as rude cause her feelings took over. Rather than her asking more inquisitive questions to learn more she’d rather just block me cause she got offended. This is a big part of the reason why men don’t talk.

It's better on both parties to just dip instead of possibly stressing a woman out. Then it's an unavoidable mess!

It is easier to take a cowardly approach to a problem rather than to face it.

Some men (not all of course) prefer to avoid confrontation and disappear rather than to try to argue with someone by lack of appropriate arguments to justify their position.

But this is not just the sole prerogative of one gender or the other. There are also women that do rather prefer to pull back rather than to possibly have to face violent reactions of the opponent.

Also, saying that you are stressed could be seen as being weak. Men in general don't like to be perceived as weak and retreat instead, which is also some kind of weakness of character.

Some men don't want to show their emotions or share their moments of weakness with others.

[CoachStarr]

Yeah, I understand that but to your partner you should at least speak up... It's makes it easier for both partners

[queenofcardio]

I agree

Sometimes they have an idea for something to do to help, go to the gym to work the stress out or whatever distracts them from it. Just sitting around aware and admitting and saying "I'm stressed" doesn't necessarily help fix it

Men know people don't care about what they're going through.
