Question

I'm Nikolai, been married to my wife for 10 years, we have 2 kids. She's always saying I'm too traditional, that I dont listen to her, but I'm just trying to provide like my father did. He was a good man, always worked hard, and my mother respected him for it. I grew up watching him be the head of the household, making decisions, and I dont know how to change that now. My wife says I'm suffocating her, that I need to be more emotional, but men dont cry, thats just how it is. I feel like I'm losing her, like she's slipping away from me. I dont know what to do, I cant just start being someone I'm not. My father would never show weakness, never back down, and I dont know how to be different from that. 😭

Putri Santoso · Answer

I was raised similar to you, my dad was a hard worker and provider, never showed emotions and I thought that's what being a man was all about, tbh it took me a while to realize that's not the only way to be strong. My wife helped me see that being emotional doesn't make me weak, it actually makes me a better partner and father. I started by just listening to her more, asking her how she feels and what she needs from me, it's made a big difference in our relationship, we're more connected now
