What do you think is t he most difficult thing a man have to deal with?

Just as unreasonable expectations of women--that we should fit social stereotypes--are the hardest thing to deal with for women, so I believe for men the expectations are the hardest thing. Men can be caring, and good fathers, and gentle, and thoughtful, but for some reason in many societies they are not supposed to show these parts of their nature. That makes it hard not just for the men, but for the whole family. Supporting the family is certainly not the hardest part because so many men do not even support their families and if they do, their wives work just as hard as they do only 14/7 instead of just during so-called "work" hours. More and more all over the world, now, too, women work full time outside the home and then still do the same amount of work at home as they would have to do if they didn't have an outside job. Even with some modern conveniences, we are looking at a very minimum of 72 hours of labor that the averaging homemaker with an outside job puts in and usually without the perks most men get. Married men may have to start chipping in and helping more at home or the most difficult thing they have to deal with may be a crabby and exhausted wife.

I think it is difficult for men to express feelings. From the time they are little boys they are taught to be strong and not cry. To be the MAN is the way they are raised. Sometimes they need a shoulder to cry on but they cant. Expressing true feelings and letting their loved ones know that they dont always want to the the pillar of strength that women expect.

Personally you just answered for me, setting new records for changing the TV channels with remote, my partner can't not control himself , he has to channel surf, It drives me mad. :)

finances and a nagging wife, especially if the nagging wife is nagging over the finances! even more so if the nagging wife is a shopaholic spending way too much money on useless things - while nagging about the finances!
