In relationships and the emotional world, boys are often labeled as strong and rational, but that doesn't mean they won't be hurt emotionally. In fact, boys also need to establish the right emotional framework to protect themselves from unnecessary emotional distress and injury.
So, how can boys establish the right emotional framework to avoid being hurt?
