Question I would like to know if it is true that in the UAE that if a man is depressed or broke it is a sign of weekness and he does not want his wife to see him in this state?
Answer Hello Julie,
Well its true in some families as it goes back to the family behavior . In our family its not happening nor in my friends families. Men express their emotions as they like but again it depends on the relation between the wife and the husband . if the relation is open and pure then there is no problem with the man expressing his emotions .. but if emotions are closed .. you know what I mean.
