Part 4/13:
A key argument revolves around how men are conditioned from early childhood to suppress emotions. Society discourages men from vulnerability, associating masculinity with stoicism, strength, and emotional control. This suppression causes many men to endure unhappiness silently, normalizing their dissatisfaction and ultimately leading to feelings of entrapment. When dissatisfaction grows, it often results in emotional disconnection, not necessarily because they wish to remain married out of love, but because they lack the tools, support, and safe space to express vulnerabilities.
