Conventionally we have been conditioned by society and tradition that men should be the breadwinner, romance initiators and missionaries of providence and protection in the household. It might have been possible and the real deal then but in today’s world it is not necessarily the case. Many couples find themselves in a situation where they both have to work to contribute to the financial, emotional and moral fabric that relationships are.  This traditional belief has a huge impact on conventional thinking men today from an egoistic perspective in that they (and society) place expectations on themselves that they should be the sole providers for their family. Get me well, it is still the right thing for a man to be a lion’s share breadwinner, but come on, two is company and that is strength. And in a situation where one is struggling, one can always come in for another. However often men deem admitting as a weakness and/or feel ashamed and embarrassed about the situation. As men we need to realize that it is not a sign of weakness but rather of brevity and truth to ask for help or manifest current weakness and struggles. Dear sisters (married/relating ones), Love
