This article never specified you, or your relationship. It used their relationship to discuss a topic that can often happen. You are feeling attacked, and I'm sure you have good reasons in your personal life to be upset, but your reaction is unreasonable here.
> Emotional labor is the unpaid job men still don't understand.
That's the subtitle of the article. It doesn't say "some men." If I wrote an article that was titled, "software: the paid job women still don't understand," please do tell me how you would interpret that.
It's also outright wrong. Every single man has to handle all of his emotional labor himself. While not every single man is in a great place, I know many who live happy fulfilling lives, so that means they know fully well how to manage their emotional labor.
