    As a old divorced vet with TBI and PTSD, this hits me hard. People have no idea what a man can carry in him. Not all have people around them. So it can be lonely. Please fo the mega remix, it just broke me.

    Whether a woman wants to feel this way, or not they think less of a man for showing weakness. It's nature. Men have a need to provide, and women need simeone who is string, and competent. Wether we ignore it, or not thise needs are still there.

    i keep on sharing this idea ... if you watch the mega remix this will make more sense
    this song being open verse should become the longest song ever written with the most contributing artists
    and i think if we crown our king this is where Elvis's should be passed because he demonstrates the example of a true and fair leader each of his subjects gets to lead through the openness of his example..
    and it comes to us at a time when we have the least support and have to join together and rise up to bring a change to a world that must pull together or were lost .. and we are at the biggest disadvantage we've ever had .. but this is the time and that's what we have to do.. so we will. what makes this song special it's not just speaking on one element.. relationships, addiction, social pressure, emotional obligation, and the desire to persevere.

    The reason men don't open up to our wives is because we're built to protect. We're trying to protect you from the sheer weight of the pressure we're under. How does protector get protected

    We put on that armour every minute, every day.
    And when we fall, no one's there to help us up.
    We have to do it ourselves every time.
    If we let any crack in our armour show, we get shit for it.
    Most of the times with most of the partners.
    We can't show weakness because it might be used against us.

    • @BetterEveryDayYouTube
      @BetterEveryDayYouTube  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Sadly, a lot of women do weaponize a man's weakness, when it serves their purpose (such as winning an argument, or minimalizing something that they did wrong). I think it's a survival mechanism. Every female does it to some degree... you have to find someone who is aware of that within herself, and is honest enough to admit when she's done it or is in the wrong.

    • @Guinnessrules
      @Guinnessrules Před 4 měsíci +1

      @BetterEveryDayCZcams Yeah, the search for the right match for me continues.
      I was in a relationship/marriage for 20 years.
      It wasn't good.
      I got shit for showing emotions and for not showing them.
      So whatever I did, it was wrong.
      I had to numb my feelings to survive it, tbh.
      I'm working on reawakening them now.
      It has been 4 years since we got divorced and I'm still working on it.

    Women tell men they want to see us show emotion, but if it actually happens, the woman usually loses interest, respect, and never looks at or treats him the same again.

    Got to admit, I missed a lot of the words, because the over all theme set my mind reeling, racing back to times of regret, not only in my life, but the lives of men I've know that did their best to hide their inner most man. But there's a nasty thing that rips at my soul called empathy. It seems as though you know exactly what that is. You exposed a bit more you you own inner most self while this song was playing, your empathetic side.. The society we live in has a lot to answer for, for both men and women. Our hearts and minds are conditioned from day one about how to act and react, how to behave, that certain parts of ourselves must stay out of sight. And that is why such a high percentage of people hide behind masks, as so few people are truly free to be who they really are. I've been reflecting on this very thing recently as a 13 year old boy took his own life, last week, he lived just a few doors down. Thinking rationally about it, I can only come with one reason why a young lad would do this, deception. Being told and taught what's expected of him, being indoctrinated with things that didn't fit with his own mind set, by peers, parents, school, media, social media, all from the father of all lies. Questions still hang in the air unanswered, such "did anyone stop and think what he wanted, instead of forcing their own ideals on him. Other questions similar, that are all now pointless. This is where 101 "if only's" come out. But if only's don't save lives.
    The timing of you doing this reaction is rather uncanny.
    Right now there's a deadly culture taking over the entire west. You know well enough what that is, so I won't spend all night on the details. That very culture is killing people all over the place, mainly by destroying souls and wrecking any desire to get on in life, dehumanising women and men, boys and girls, messing with the heads so millions of children. Yet there's no one with the guts to stand and fight for these victims, for fear of being shouted down, cancelled, and the rest of their BS.
    Needles to say, your old mate here is getting un popular in certain circles for doing just that, fighting the woke cult, and with very good reason, I've got six grandkids entering school over the next few years, and right now, I'm very scared for their future. God forbid they end up like that 13 year old.
    OK Randi, leaving in peace from my increasingly grumpy concerns. Take care my special friend. TTFN.

      It breaks my heart that the teen's life ended so early. 😥 I know what you mean. My kids are too young to be caught up in today's problems among youth, but I have a niece and nephew that are a part of the generation, each affected by the culture in one way or another. When I was young, no matter how bad things got at school, sports, or wherever, it didn't follow me home like with today's teens (via social media/phones). If it had, I don't know if I would be here. It was pretty dark a few times, but I could catch my breath, so to speak, on a weekend, summer break, etc... I worry a lot for those young people who are clouded in darkness that cannot come up for air, so to speak.

    @Duke00x Před 9 měsíci +1

    We can't. The moment we do show it we lost respect (what little we still get these days) and get hate for it. And we also can as a group because if we did express it and did something about it and maybe stopped caring that load society and civilization would collapse.

    • @BetterEveryDayYouTube
      @BetterEveryDayYouTube  Před 9 měsíci

      Some women don't lose respect for a man who opens up... But I know there are plenty of females who operate differently... making respect contingent upon 'strength', whatever they deem that to be. If you find one that you can actually be vulnerable with, and it make you stronger as a team, keep her.

    I really like what you said in this video. However, most of us men can never speak about the weight that we carry, especially to family.
    There is one simple cure to it all. A woman just has to hold her man, tell him how much she loves him, and thank him for being there. They don't need to do it every single day, but a couple of times a week will allow a man to carry any weight. Unfortunately most of us never get that. Women are emotional, and that emotion is almost always directed inward.

    • @BetterEveryDayYouTube
      @BetterEveryDayYouTube  Před 11 měsíci +1

      I think some women get wrapped up in themselves/kids/what's going on and forget to check on their husbands and connect with them. Which is sad by itself .. but it makes a huge difference if your partner/spouse does little things that make you feel valued/respected (an embrace, an I love you, etc.).

    I appreciate your insight but I feel you misinterpreted the meaning/message of the song. These words are being spoken to women, as kind of an eye opener into the expectations they/society place on us men. The ending result is the mental health aspect of the song. Our worth is only measured by what we provide to our families.

    • @Duke00x

      Not a good woman. We understand it's a partnership, with give and take. The only exception is if it's obsessive or unhealthy (in which case she should still be respectful and encouraging when she brings it up).
      It seems like that understanding and give and take are largely dependent on experience in relationships, and willingness to fight for one another when challenges arise.
