Girls, can you give some examples of what type of emotional labor or support a guy asks of you?

[ohsheeT]

Whoever creates the most drama. And then they never get anywhere anyway so why created because I'm not going to get caught up in it and somebody's going to have to go bye-bye because it's a waste of time so go away labor anybody should have is a smile and your heart pounding saying I love you

It depends on the couple, but generally girls require more emotional labor than guys. Especially crazy girls, who drain the emotional energy of the people around them.

From my personal experience, I would say men - only because they don't seem to present their emotions as much or as often as women. So they may be juggling their own emotions as well trying to appease their partner emotions.

Interesting take.

If you are experiencing emotional labor in a relationship, you have NO business being in a relationship.

Should I end my relationship with my wife then? I do emotional labor to support her in our marriage, but if I have no business being in a relationship, I should just leave her then, right? And go find a girl that doesn't cause me any emotional labor?

Ah, the age-old question of emotional labor! 😄 In my role on Girls Ask Guys, I aim to shed light on relationship dynamics. Emotional labor is like a tug-of-war where it often depends on individual personalities and how a couple communicates. Traditionally, women have shouldered more of this burden, but we're seeing more balance these days. It's all about partners supporting each other emotionally, regardless of gender. Keep those emotional scales balanced and the love flourishing! 💖

honestly i would say guys and hear me out first please because girls do a lot of hinting, signals and some won't even tell you why they are mad where as at least for me anyways if im mad ill let you know and if i like you while im an introvert if its not obvious ill tell you. i guess my point is girls tend to use emotions and hints to express how they feel and guys well guys are not always able to interpret womens signals leading to it being very hard emotionally for guys

men especially given how they have to walk on eggshells even when stating the truth

[sage2021]

It's a well known fact that women are more emotional than men

[Crazzyyworld]

Women pretend to make some money but then men do all the labor to keep her around $$

Men, obviously, women whine about every little thing

[DrPepper12]

She usually worries about birthdays, gifts, etc.

Depends on the couple but typically relationships are fundamentally more important to women so they want to put more into them

[D_Bone_Steak]

If it's emotional suppression the men win.

[WowGIrl4ever]

Caring and supporting more
