You are smart to undertand and point out the typical difference between men and women, it is true but he shouldn't be overdoing it since it worries you a lot, and for that you should open up and tell him that you undertand you might not provide solutions but knowing his struggles means a lot to you. But when he opens up dont ask him too many questions or judge and nag him about how he got there, this will make it hard for him to share again. Instead try to focus on the solutions....
