One of the hardest things to deal with is watching your SO struggle. I know manhood is defined by their career, and what they have. I know they’re also looked at as the provider and shit. I just hate when I have to sit back and let him be a man because, doing otherwise would challenge their “manliness”🙄. I’ll let a man be a man but shit if you need help I got you ... smh.. does anyone have any advice on how I can deal with this ?

It seems as though nothing I do/say will help. He just becomes more and more difficult to talk to. I did let him know, if he needed anything I’m here and I also mentioned a bit of encouragement to show that I’m at least confident in him being able to solve his own problems.
