Girls, after a few months into your relationship, would you patiently listen to your man venting out his miseries of his life?

When he feels down, would you be able to cheer him up mentally? Do you have the patience to listen to him? Do you think it's less manly to vent out?

[ChrisOfTheAlienRace]

In my experience it's a mistake.
Right after my father passed away I started to feel overwhelmed with trying to grieve losing him, going to work, being a father myself, and all the responsibilities of taking care of his farm. People coming out of the woodwork wanting his stuff right after he died was just about enough to drive me crazy.
At that time I turned to my partner for support, but she seemed frustrated that I wasn't strong and happy for once. She started looking for a way out of the relationship.
I wouldn't suggest getting too down and expecting your partner to love it.
Relationships really are not for miserable people.
"Through good times and bad" yeah, depends how bad.

You probably blew up the relationship. Women vent Men listens. Sounds like she have to compete. You pretty gave your man as leader away right then. I don’t care what they say Man-feelings is not what they want.

I believe somebody who is not there for you when your down is worthless as a companion. I’m not saying you have to be their hero or their saviour but you should be willing to offer sympathy for a short while when somebody is in pain.
