Things We Say That Make Men Emotionally Close Up

I can handle this on my own
These can be toxic words in a heterosexual relationship, since most straight men are already inundated with the idea that they should be able to handle everything on their own and never ask for help. We see it when they won’t ask for directions, to when they won’t show emotions. So when you say, “I can handle this on my own” you perpetuate the idea that, within this relationship everyone should be handling their emotional issues solo.
