Why do so many men say “I’m fine” when they’re struggling? Counsellor Ben Ang explores why men hide their feelings, how emotional distress can show up as anger or withdrawal, and what can help men open up and seek support.

Why do some men stop trying in dating or relationships? It is often assumed to be anger, entitlement, or a loss of interest. Yet for many men, emotional withdrawal develops more quietly through repeated rejection, diminished confidence, and the growing sense that effort no longer leads to connection. Sex Therapist and Relationship Counsellor Dr Martha Tara Lee explains how understanding these different pathways helps distinguish healthy self-protection from emotional avoidance, controlling behaviour, and patterns of disengagement that can ultimately harm relationships.

You can love someone deeply—and still feel alone in the relationship. Not because love is missing, but because emotional maturity is. Psychotherapist, Calista Goh-Therond, explains the difference between a “boy” and a “man” in relationships isn’t age—it’s how they handle conflict, responsibility, and emotional connection.

Many men are taught to be strong, silent, and self-reliant — but few are taught how to cope when life, relationships, and fatherhood feel overwhelming. Counsellor & Psychotherapist, Ben Ang, explores how traditional masculinity shapes men’s emotional lives, why anger is often misunderstood, and how redefining strength can create healthier men, families, and relationships.
