Someone else has said this - Men are very very open about issues they deal with in their marriage. Very very. If a man is not happy in his marriage the entire community will know in 20 minutes. Women on the other hand swallow and endure.
Men should be more vulnerable, and more open about the issues they deal with in marriage. Yes. But that thread with guys talking about walking away from their families and children? Nah, that's not it. That's not it at all.

I cannot begin to emphasize the importance of this. These people get paid by reach and engagement. No matter how angry you are at the lies, do not engage, do not quote tweet, do not reply. Just unlook, that is the only way to win.
