Are Older Men Taking the Manic Effort?

Men aren't used to doing the emotional labor and mental load of keeping up friendships or remembering whose birthday it is. Ruby Morez, a comedian in her early 30s living in Los Angeles, got so fed up with functioning as an unpaid therapist that she gave her then boyfriend of five years in ultimatum, get a shrink or we're done. She only conceded to couples counseling after she did all the work to find the therapist and set up the appointments.
