its got nothing to do with him being a guy. he's accountable for his actions whether he's got a penis a vagina or both or neither. and if he's not supportive it doesn't mean other guys are not.
there are millions of male therapists in the world perfectly capable of dealing with peoples problems and totally competent in the consideration department.
tihs isn't a small issue having support from your partner d think was pretty central to a relationship. you should probably reevaluate if you want to be wth him.
it doesn't matter if he doesn't mean it or if he only seems inconsiderate because you are so caring. if you're so caring you should be with a caring person. just like if he liked tons of sex he should be with someone with a high sex drive.
intentionality has little to do with it unless he's willing to try to be supportive. you're either getting support or you're not. if not why are you with him?
its not just compassion but respect that one gives you and your ordeals when taking you seriously.

As usual, tooloose ignores that fact that men and women are generally different in this respect. lol. Some things never change.
It's a commonly accepted fact that men tend to try to fix problems, a behavior that frustrates women when they are really just in heed of someone to listen. When a guy shares a problem with a male friend, they will talk about the cause and the solution. That's what men do.
But that's not necessarily what a woman expects or wants. My point is that the "problem" here is not just him. It's a difference between the two of you. He needs to get better at listening and being sympathetic, and you need to better understand why he reacts the way he does...because he's a man and is doing what men do naturally.
Some people just don't know what to say to make people feel better. It's not their fault, they just can't express what they mean properly. I have that problem sometimes, myself.
