"Men, please share your emotions. But only the right emotions. And only at the right times. And only in the right amounts. But make sure not to limit your emotions! Show them to me, just in a way that makes me want to deal with them."

Ladies, until you change your behavior on this, the title is what I'm going to assume about you when you say you want a partner who is vulnerable and open with their emotions.

Too many people out there fail to realize that when you ask for vulnerability it means you get the good moments along with the bad. It's nice to have your partner show they are worried and scared but at some point they are going to be worried and scared about something you think is idiotic.

Truly wanting vulnerability means you're prepared to deal with those moments because you care about your partner whether or not their emotions are logical to you or not.

Edit: yes, men also do this. No, not every woman does this. Men shaming men for having emotions is a different conversation. And no, men don't shame other men "far more" than women, so stop acting like this is a non-issue. Ask most guys and they'll say that their feelings are treated with disdain from everyone. Last time I checked, "everyone" includes women. If you want to have the convo about guys doing this make your own post about it. Also please have some empathy towards some of these commenters, for heavens sake.
