If this is you, you belong here:

Your parents have certain ideas about what kind of person you should marry or what kind of career you should pursue. You think they might be wrong — but you’re not sure. Maybe they’re right? You don’t know what to think.
Your parents have an unhealthy or dysfunctional marriage. You suspect or know they are emotionally unhealthy. You’re afraid you will be attracted to, and marry an unhealthy person, and have a dysfunctional marriage too.
You’re married but not sure if you love your partner or if you’re happy in the marriage. Your partner is a very nice person — they’re not doing anything wrong — but you’re just not sure if you’re in love with them, or you’re afraid you’re more in love with someone else.
You feel uncomfortable or unnatural doing the “guy things” you’re supposed to be doing as a guy. But you feel isolated and like you don’t belong when you don’t do them. You keep trying to find ways to be more masculine and fit in with the “guys”, but a part of you just wants to give in to the loneliness so you can just be yourself.
Your husband or wife keeps blaming you for things or telling you you’re doing things wrong. You feel you’re a good spouse and it must be their problem. But then you question yourself — you have made mistakes in the past. So now you’re wondering what you should be doing and how much you really know about what the right thing is to do in your marriage.
Your child (or another family member) is unhappy with you. You’re not sure if you’re the problem and if you really should be doing something differently. You think you’re doing the right thing but keep being told to do things differently. Other family members and even professionals are advising you to do things differently…but you just don’t know if they are right and what you should be doing
