Summary

On Marriage.com, I found an article that I find a bit difficult to take seriously. Take a look here:' https://www.marriage.com/advice/relationship/emotionally-broken-man/ I'm not saying that these points are invalid, but I don't see how this article helps shedding light on current issues in society. Not all men going through rough phases become emotionally broken. Using a term like "broken", suggests the person in question is scared for life. Is that always the case? Some of these examples describe situations that we all can face, or have faced before, but that doesn't mean somebody is broken. What this article does best is to give some hobby psychologist a reason to judge a friend, or their own partner of becoming emotionally broken. Even if just one of these examples here could be true, doesn't mean to the end of the world, or a necessary labling of "broken" to be applied to an individual. But hey... I could also just be overdramatising..
