[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So many articles and threads and discussion of women and the unseen mental load and how in most households there is an inequitable sharing of duties. Is this true or are women just more vocal in general, and to some extent more biologically programmed to vocalize concern and to worry more? I guarantee men do tons of things around the house women don’t, but they just don’t talk about it. Men suffer in silence more. Rates of suicide are higher in men for this reason. They internalize a lot. Is this the reason you may not hear men complaining their wife didn’t fix the internet or carry the trash out? I get that a lot of women handle a lot in a marriage. They do. But do men simply do the same, but grin and bear it more quietly?[/quote]

Women do a lot more. This is well-documented. 
Women also try to kill themselves more, but they tend to use methods like taking pills which are less effective. 
I would argue that men don't internalize and suffer in silence. They tend to lash out at others. It is true though that they are often discouraged from seeking help, and I've found that mental heath professionals don't tend to take their concerns seriously if and when they do seek help. [/quote]

Very true. [/quote]
