"He said it would not even be wise to share something like that with your spouse. Now she thinks less of you, and she always will. She's not going to be able to get that out of her head, Walsh said. She might pretend to be sympathetic, or maybe she won't even pretend. What do you want? She's gonna pat you on the head? He continued, She's going to think less of you, and the same goes for anyone you divulge this information to."
"And again, he said don't saddle your wife with your sad feelings. The problem is that you are very selfish and very weak, and nobody can fix that problem for you, Walsh said. Nobody can do anything about it, nothing. You just need to get over yourself."
A father posted online that after four years of parenthood he fears for his soul because he does not like being around his children for very long. The post went viral and attracted millions of views. The response framed public disclosure of intimate feelings as unwise and likely to cause lasting judgment and diminished respect from a spouse or others. Spouses may appear sympathetic but will remember the disclosure. The advised alternative was to confide in a close male friend only for the most agonizing issues. The position also labeled such feelings as selfishness and weakness that must be overcome.
