yeah I'm glad a bunch of people with BPD have now made "being kind to your partner" emotional labor instead of like what it used to mean, the uncompensated and enervating things you had to do as like a mother or employee broadly, and was a generalized indictment of the idea that gendered tasks haven't been traditionally regarded as labor and thus looked down on and that's bad, not that we should go the other direction and just commodify interpersonal decency

You're right, relationships are when people just love each other and nobody ever has a bad day and everything is just perfect 100% of the time, and then somebody dies and the relationship is over.

and?
this thread from metafilter is what helped me understand the contemporary conception of emotional labor the most: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0UUYL6kaNeBTDBRbkJkeUtabEk/view?pref=2&pli=1

it's a lot of reading but most people here would probably get something out of it

also it could stand to be edited down to its core ideas or whatever but you take what you can get

men dont share emotionally with each other and theres no other outlet than your partner, so a lot of women end up playing therapist

for example my longtime friends sister just died and he didn't want to talk about it, but he did want to drink with me

It could have been that or he also couldve just wanted a hour or two of normalcy and not have to relitigate his sister's death for the hundreth time

Edit: when my dad died I didn't tell most of my friends because I was grieving with my family. All I wanted when I was out with my friends was to forget things were happening for a little bit

literally everyone talking about emotional labor who isn't using the phrase to refer to service workers having to pretend to be friendly and welcoming at all times even when they're being treated like dogshit is doing that. they're just being dishonest about what they mean.

Sorry about your broke brain, dude. There’s a reason the vast majority of people who talk about emotional labor irl are women and it has nothing to do with resenting the idea of helping people

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

You know who does 'emotional labor'? Waiters. There's no real mental or physical challenge to taking orders and delivering food, but putting up with everyone's particular bullshit and smiling as the fuckers run you for another lemon for their water is emotionally draining, which is why all waiters are alcoholic drug addicts (myself included).

That's all there is to it, someone who has to take your bullshit while unable to give you a piece of their mind is doing emotional labor.
