Middle Eastern Men and accepting support
For a Middle Eastern male asking for emotional support is a sign of weakness, and it affects his image.
Support is accepted but not asked for, in certain extreme cases, like a death in the family, severe illness or nasty divorce.
The support networks used in the west are unacceptable in the Middle Eastern culture; support network comes from immediate members of family (father, mother, brothers, and uncles) and very close friends.
A Middle Eastern male is expected to show strength, and to handle life issues without showing any hint of weakness. If he happens to need family support, it is available briefly; he is expected to recover quickly and to resume the strong image he should convey to people around him.
