Why is so much expected of men? We can only do so much and we have limits too, am I supposed to just let other people run my life, I'm about to just give up(not on life).

I say don't let others set the expectations for you. Only you know your abilities and limits. Set your own expectations and always try to exceed them.

Its always been that way. Others will pile more and more on you if you let them, regardless of if you are able to handle it or not and there is always someone out there willing to run your life if you're willing to let them. Learning to say 'no' can be difficult, particularly with friends and family, but its empowering once you finally get it down. Doesn't mean you have to be self-centered and never do anything for anyone, just learn to set your limits. If its something beyond your control, something that for whatever reason saying 'no' simply isn't practical, the way I tend to take such things is simply to remember that this too shall pass. Its a bit cliche but ultimately true.

I dont think that much is expected of men yes us ladies want to be looked after and respected but most of us will give you guys double back ,i agree with twisted taco it is much harder being a woman but then again i dont know what troubles you yourself are having it seems like youre a good man whos trying his best and not getting no appreciation for it and youve had enough ,i think you may be a little too soft and youre being taken for granted ,dont give up or change who you are just put youre foot down a bit more and show people you wont stand for no crap and dont let any one run youre life for you not even the people you love the most,good luck and i hope things improve for you .

I dont think there is so much expected of men. This is not a gender question. It is what bullshit do u want to put up with as a person reguardless if it is a friend or a relationship. If someone is good to you and is a friend male or female then keep them. The only person you should expect alot from is yourself.

I think everyone has a times in their life when they overwhelmed...overworked....overloaded...not just men. Well, with me I have been the only one obligated to provide financially, emotional guidance, and insure physically for myself and my son. So, the point is everyone has stress not just men....but if you don't think that other people in your life are doing their share of the providing than tell them how you are feeling...let them know you are feel bombarded and need a little help. No one should expected anything from another. Keep your head up and your ambition level high but ask for help.
