Search Results: being honest in a relationship

I had a very hard time earlier this year. The stress i got from everything in my life was too much for me to handle. My job demanded a lot of labor within 40 hours, my studies and exams in my semester wore me out, i had no time for any hobbies and the chores in my home piled up as a result.
so one day after work i came home earlier than usual to do something about my stress levels and emotional health.
my then girlfriend of 9 months asked me via text how i am and me being the honest man i told her, that I'm down and in tears. She decided to come over to me to support me and i think that's where things went dead wrong. We cuddled and she saw me crying and She also broke into sobbing and tears.

2 weeks later she ceased all contact with me and ghosted on me and left me with her lies, that she'll always be there for me and that she can't leave me like this and that she loves me too much. Well, she did the exact opposite.
it's been 6 months since then.

so like what can we learn from it? Never cry? Never let your woman see your wounds and tears? Never tell your woman that you're down and in tears? We men are the leaders and if a leader falls, then he'll be left out? is that it? Were we as boys taught this for this exact reason? It's literally impossible. We aren't indestructible machines.
Or was she just a bitch and the relationship could not have lasted either way? She was my first everything from my first kiss all the way through intimacy. 🤷
