Stay at home mum reacts to HER husband's reaction. DAX - "To be a man"  

Wow love this! Thank you!

My dad passed with covid. He had cancer as well for the last decade. My mum left us him me and my little sister for another guy who is doing better just after he got cancer. Dad did everything he can to provide us a good home, education and food. I know nobody will read this but im just letting my own heart speak as in right now.. Im so proud of him.. Now im 33 with my own family with 3 kids and doing well myself, my sister got married last 2 years just after he died. All i can say is.. Now im a dad and a husband, this song really caught me.. And i can only imagine how my dad lice his life for us.. I miss you dad.. We miss you.. Rest now and i hope I'm making you feel proud as a father 💔

I'm a disabled man and this song hit me so hard. I'm not afaid of hard work, I just can't do it and it tears me up inside everyday.

This is a serious struggle for a lot of men. Dax seriously just made a hard working man's song. We need this out there for the world to hear and see.

As a veteran nowadays the feelings of this song are two fold. It legitimately feels like no one cares or understands.

The fact that she take the time to see what her husband is going through is amazing

Seeing her reaction to his reaction when the meaning of the song hits him... You can see she just wants to go hold him. This couple knows what's important. This is what we should all strive for.

Happened to me... I'm 53, bearded man, hardass, Harleys...from Boston. I lasted 40 seconds and I cry every time. Messing you up because it's beautiful bro.

I'm now happily divorced from a woman who wanted to be a stay at home mom, but she also thought "feminist" meant she didn't have to do "traditional/domestic" work even though I was expected to be a traditional man. The lyrics of this song are all too true to me.

I'm two and 1/2 minutes into this song and I have to say. Her reactions to his facial expressions. She get it. She's understanding her husband.

his reaction.. just sums it up for men. so raw and real.

Your husbands reaction brought me to tears thinking about my own father and now being a father, this song just hits home. Thanks for the reaction video.

It was incredible to see your reaction to your husband's reaction. I think this should be a series where spouses watch something that moves their spouse and react to it. It could bring us all closer and understand each other better and make us better people because of it.

As a single guy w/o kids this tears me up for all the husband's and fathers out there. I suffer with my own demons plus taking care of my elderly disabled mother and it's not the same as yall go through, but a struggle nonetheless... My loneliness gets the best of me more times than I care to admit, and sometimes I just want all of it to go away. Stay strong fellas & don't give up hope for a better tomorrow where we don't have to be afraid or feel guilty for being emotional, but still being able to take care of our families and responsibilities.

I know Dax had an idea of how this song would play out but I bet he had no idea how much it would affect every man the way that it does. I have not seen one reaction video without a man crying. Such a great song!

Man i really thought i was the only man that cried to this song..im watching this now while my kids are playing..an crying in the room alone..a lot of men sacrifice so much an most women will never understand what we go through...

I have heard this song about a dozen times. It gets me to tear up every time. I have a job that I hate but it pays well enough that I can’t leave. I put in long hours every week to provide a great life for my wife and kids. That is enough for me to be happy.😊

I specifically made the decision to not have children bc the generational curse in my family is too strong. As a man that has a disabled wife, this song hits me hard bc I can't tell her what I feel. I don't want her to feel like a burden, so I hold it inside

It's especially hard on us single fathers, raising kids on their own.

1:38 Ever man has that same reaction when they hear the first verse while seeing that man cry in his truck. You can see him go from excited/fidgety with a smile, to standing still and realizing this is a serious song within about 3 seconds. I think we all do it the first time we hear this. At least I did.

as a single father of 3 little girls this song hits my heart hard ,i recently left a relationship over this exact reason my efforts were minimized by my paramour financially , i want my girls to understand the burdens a father carrys everyday to support their families ,so they dont word things hurtfully in times of stress,the song makes me ball my eyes out

He's so broken but I know God will see him and every man through the struggles ❤

This hits home so much for me. I can’t listen to this song and break down. I work 75hrs a week just to provide for my wife father and 3 kids whilst being in so much debt and no matter how much I work it never goes or helps

I have spoken to my wife about this issue, and she tells me that it doesn't exist. Talk about a knife in the heart.

Thanks so much to you both for your video. I was lucky enough to be part of the project (Guy in truck at the start.) It's so gratifying to see the impact the song is having. Thanks again.

Love a man that can show his feelings 😊

The fact that she said thank you is all he will need to hear to make it worth it for him.

My wife is a rock and i can be myself and i know she loves me. We have also hit rock bottom ourselves and i feel it makes people stronger as a couple. Funny i drove a school bus and worked my own business long hrs to provide for my family. You and your husband are amazing ❤

I don't know if you really understand how much it means to a man to truly be appreciated. It makes it so much easier to work through the hard times and keep your head up. Just from seeing him in this video, I can tell that your husband is one hell of a good man and is willing to go to hell and back for you. Most men NEVER hear "I appreciate you".

I had no idea Caveman was your husband, I follow him too ❤

Hubby’s transparency got me balling out . Thank you wifey to continue in encouraging him & balancing . Wow I applaud you both. Much love and big hugs to you and yours .

Been listening to this song for awhile now. 2 kids myself and I cried like I was there age. Seeing him tear up got me again. Everyone out there single dads, single moms, divorced and happily married people, you got this ❤️ keep it up

I've got to give my husband his props. He's such an amazing husband & father. I was amazed when I met him what a great single father he was. It was so refreshing. Now when he should be retired & enjoying life, he's taking care of our disabled son, me with MS, and works 12 hours a day every weekend. Never complains. I try to tell him how much he's appreciated as often as I can. If a woman has a damn good husband...don't hold back the praise. Bless them!! Great reaction by you and your husband. ❤️

I'll be 40 next month and i put a lot of MY wants on hold throughout my life because of the things spoken in this song. I've been engaged twice and both left as soon as things got tough. It always felt like it was my fault we didn't have money, we didn't have nice things, i couldn't take her to dinner ect ect. With the crash of 2008 and 2010, then the pandemic work became incredibly hard to find. I always wanted kids but i never wanted kids with someone i didn't know i was going to spend the rest of my life with. Your husband's reaction was exactly my reaction when i heard this song - to a T.

I think this is the best reaction I’ve ever watched, protect your husband at all costs ❤️

😢This is absolutely brilliant! A wife reacting to her husband who is reacting to a song about a very real struggle alot of men go through.. He is so lucky to have found a person that not only listens, but tries to understand him and those struggles he faces.. You are definitely a keeper and as far as your reaction go's? absolutely loved it. I wish you two all the best in your future! He is just as lucky to have you in his life as you are to have him.

To be honest, I saw your husband's video yesterday, thought to myself "Why is he so emotional...." and skipped his video. Until your video got recommended, although I have been married for 25 years, I never had such support from my wife, she's on the other side of the spectrum (i work 60+ hours a week, she doesn't work). I loved seeing your reaction. I loved the emotion of both of you guys, i see the love you have for your husband. I loved it from the first minute i started this video. Any man who has a supportive wife as you are is set for life. Although i will soon file for divorce i am hoping to marry a woman as understanding as you are next time. Thank you for this video.

Much love to you Caveman. Thank you for showing us your emotions. As a man, I struggled so long with my emotions because I was thought weak if I did. As a veteran, we have to hold our emotions at bay because we can't let it take the best of us. As a father, I can't show weakness in front of my kids or else they start to worry about my problems. When I showed my emotions to my ex-wife, she left me... So I'm glad you found someone who can love you at your most vulnerable. That's hard to find and definitely a catch. Definitely a subscribe to this channel.

The more I listen u guys rock ❤

Damn… got me all sorts of emotional. Dax has some amazing music! This song hits home so hard! Being an addict in recovery, and having a small family. I’ve got 6 years off heroin and cocaine, and some days I struggle. I struggle with emotions I struggle with life, I struggle with adulting and being a better me. Thank you to you and your husband for the reaction. Definitely going to follow you both!! Keep up the great content!

This was so special. My husband is 57 and beat cancer 3 years ago. He still travels to help restore power to cities that were hit by hurricanes. He works 16 hour days in the Florida heat. We are blessed to have him as a dad and husband.

As a single father that's been through a divorce for a lot of the reasons described in this song, I can assure you it hits single men as hard as anybody. I cry every time I hear it, and seeing your husband emotional just made it hit that much more. Thank you for this!

Watching this honestly made my day and I truly love this 💯 making me cry and all lol 🤘❤️

This was such a GOOD IDEA! Thank you SO MUCH for being there for your husband. I can clearly tell that you are a ride or die woman for him and that is awesome. 80% of divorces are filed by women. Of that 80% more than 70% is because of "money issues". What Dax speaks about here is not a minority of women. It is the majority of modern women sadly. The radicalisation of the feminist movement is a massive culprit. Also, the welfare state that incentivizes women to raise children alone without the father in the home. Thankfully I have an amazing mother and father who raised me right. My parents were together all the way until my dad passed away in 2018 and even though he is no longer with us and my mom is widowed they are technically still together because my mom refuses to accept the love of another man and he is always in our thoughts and talked about every day. You are clearly an amazing woman who doesn't fall in with the horrible course that modern women today are on. You clearly love and support your husband and I bet if he were to lose all income, the house, the car and everything else you own that you would STILL stay with him because you love and support him and you truly believe in the vows you made on your wedding day. Again, thank you for sharing your reaction to your husbands reaction. It's really refreshing to see true love and support represented on the screen for a change.

You are an example of a good marriage and a strong family , may God need all your needs..

What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL reaction from husband and wife. What beautiful people they both are! God bless them!!

This song hit me hard when I first heard it it still hits me every time I hear it. Being a man on disability it's a massive blow not being able to provide like as a man I feel I should. This man knows how to make a song he's an amazing artist. You should watch the remix video he made.

Thank you for this. I think many hear these words and blame toxic masculinity when in reality Dax has captured and revealed our inner dialog as men. We're not taught this, it's our instincts.

I wish my dad would have spoken up more, when I was a teenager, he walked out on all 3 of us kids. We have not heard from him again almost 20 years later. This does not take away from the other men I have been able to look up to. I was blessed with men who could express themselves and their love for me. My stepdad, my uncle, and my brother are all incredible souls. I love, respect, and appreciate good, hard-working men. Remind the men in your lives how important they are ❤❤❤ thank you for this reaction.

Even as a single male i really feel this song not only did i see my father struggle with these issues when i was young but as ive had relationships ive struggled expressing how i feel about my job or mental state

This song hit me like so hard, I just heard it a day ago and all I can think of is my dad, how he provided for four kids and wife, food, clothes, bdays, rent and he never told us he had cancer and at 58 yrs.old he passed away. I saw, I spend lots of time with him,he was my best friend, I was his 3rd child and the only one that loved him so much. Sorry for rabbling but this song tore my heart out. 37yrs. Miss you papi.

Omg this one tops it off for me of all the reactions. I cried with him. After hearing this song for the 1st time it’s been on repeat and made me appreciate my step dad who raised me since I was 2 years old a lot more! I always had a close relationship with him growing up but I never thought about it in this way!

Its nice to see your reaction and words.

He nods so hard when he says it's about what you provide inside that home, that it's highly likely that's how he actually feels, given it wasn't a common movement to suggest he's simply enjoying the music

Damn I never cried so hard in my life, as much as when it reached the part of nobody crying for you until you are dead. It's true, and it hurts. We are so lonely now a days,and there are an abundance of people to shame us for even mentioning that we hurt, and to push us down again. To all you guys out there reading this, If you aren't being appreciated for what you do, let me be the first to tell you, Your doing good man. keep it up champ. Keep looking out for your people, you damn champion.

I’m so happy for your husband is doing a lot better now😇✝️☮️💙🙏🏻

What beautiful reactions!

Much love for you both. 55 years old here in Ohio. I thank both of you for your reactions. Let's me squeeze out a few tears while everyone else is still sleeping.

Wow this is probably the best reaction I've seen so far. I wish i could of seen his reaction with the darius Rucker addition to this song. The words that Darius added to this song was phenomenal.

Much love to you and Caveman!!!

He told me he read my comment to you. 100% meant all of it, can easily tell genuine as it's gets, that's a man I'd go to war with...hands down. Which this reaction had me crying even more than his original lol, fkn DAX, then your husband, than you with both of them lmao so e twilight zone shit all just punching me in the gut. Glad your channel came up on my feed without even having to look or anything lol was #1 suggested. Seem like amazing good people. Much much love.

watching his face in the first verse says it all

Did not know you were married to the Caveman...this was an absolutely beautiful reaction! I wish and pray the best for both of you! Absolutely beautiful!

Both caveman's reaction and your reaction had me crying like a baby. I've felt useless my whole life. I have a severe mental illness and I've never been able to hold down a job, and thus I've never been able to find a girl. It makes sense, and I'm not bitter about it. I understand. Nobody wants to be with someone like me, and rightly so. Well, guess what? For the first time in my life, I'm about to start working. It's not a fun job, it'll be backbreaking grueling work, and I'll be cleaning nasty toilets and scrubbing baseboards and all kinds of stuff my mind and body aren't used to. But I think it will be good for me. I'll be making $30 an hour. I'll finally have a sense of purpose. I'll finally get to go to bed exhausted. If it sounds strange to be excited about that, try living 32 years on this planet with no sense of direction, or purpose. Knowing it doesn't matter if you go to bed at 8pm or 8am. Knowing tomorrow will be EXACTLY the same as today. Empty. A worthless, wasted life. I'm sick of it. I don't care how much it kills me, I'm going to do this job, and I'm not going to quit. For my potential future wife (unlikely to happen) but also for me. I need this. I need to work. I need to change my own life. God isn't going to reach down and drop purpose into my lap. Purpose comes WITH work and effort and trying and overcoming. That's where the purpose lives. I finally understand. I will overcome. This is my war, and I haven't been fighting it. The enemy has gained a lot of ground. It's about time I take it back. God bless you, caveman, and your family. Thank you for sharing your perspectives with me. I am inspired.

I loved this reaction to your husband's reaction. I have never seen a reaction from either of you but I saw enough in this one that made me like both of you for your honesty and sharing your thoughts. Thanks for this! Great double reaction!

Dax got him crying, got you crying because he's crying, got me crying, cause both of you are crying. omg! Thanks so much for sharing this great song and video❤

Been there an feel the same way God bless both of you

Wow this was beautiful y’all! Thanks for the double reaction 🤙🙏🙏👌

you guys are amazing...first time i heard this song i teared up. as the bread winner giving up is not even a choice. am proud of my responsibilities to my wife and my kid. a man does his duty and you leave it all out there, nd rise everyday to do it again. am just as transparent to my spouse, you an amazing encouragement to couples out here. you have a follower and a fun. thank for sharing your stories with us, they've really invigorated. am going through a time of rebuilding and you guys helped give me some perspective and to not be too hard on myself. i wishes both you the best of success and i hope your channels blows up, watched your husband's first then youtube recommended yours after. God bless...with love from Africa

This hits home Inna deep way !!! My dad served 20 yrs in the military. He was awesome . He wouldn't talk about the horrors he seen to us children . But my mother supported him and held him when he was having flashbacks. .I love and miss my dad. He was a good man. .

The wedding day caused that reaction... because in the beginning you have the world by the balls and you have your whole future ahead of you... but when you look back 25 - 30 years later... after all the struggle... the fights... the trauma... the time you have left doesn't seem so hot. But when you look back and remember that feeling you had that day... it's a double edged sword. It reminds you of how happy you were... but then you realize how hard shit is now... and how little time you have left to fix any of it. That said... I've lost everything three times... and came back stronger each time because I refused to step backwards. But all the hurt doesn't ever really go away... it just gets drowned out from time to time. But I'm still here... and I still do the best I can.

Love this. We need more understanding that men can be strong, and have balanced feelings too.

For context : i work in mental health training our social workers, and this is 💯 true. As a man who works in it and deals with it, having that support is monumental for us. Love this reaction video! ❤

Caveman Please continue being who you are there are thousands if millions of us whho don't feel like we can express ourselves

The real problem isn't us working hard God built us to work we know what we supposed to do its The women who forgot what God made them for and to do 😢😢🙏🏽

Your husband seems like an amazing man. You guys look happy, in love. I personally do not know what this feels like anymore. I have ruined so many aspects of my life and those around me due to emotional issues getting in the way of being who i am needed to be. I miss the feelings and emotions i see you and your husband experience. My wife now literally hates me and reminds me everyday what a piece of shit i am. I get no praise from her and very little from my daughters. I feel so lonely most days, as well guilt and sadness from the decisions i have made affecting my two daughters, my ex wife, and my current wife. Not to mention the emotional pain has caused me to retreat to an addiction of sorts, and avoid my family. It is a cycle i know i must break. I have known this for years, yet here we still are. Many times i have felt like dying would be the best for all parties involved, because my self worth is so low...who would miss me, right?. Thankfully i am still here. I need artists like Dax, Tom Mac, Jelly Roll. Anyone who puts themself out there, on full display. Thank you to both you and your caveman. Be well! ..and you tube told me this may go against their standards....they dont realize im talking about myself i guess

My wife is just as supportive as you. Let me tell you that as long as you're strong for him, he'll be 10 times as strong, just to provide. And he'll be happy to do it.

Cave Man U have tears coming out of my eyes ❤

Yeah it’s absolutely how much real manhood has declined so much over the last handful of years, im eternally grateful my old man was just like the guy in the music video aside from the alcohol, my dad never touched it. But yeah im not gonna claim to be a big fan of Dax, just not kinda music, but this song definitely hits home for alot of guys. U mind me asking what the home business is? If not that’s ok

I cant remember the last time i had tears roll down my cheeks this song is absolutely touching on so many levels

First off your hubby made me cry, second you made me cry. Thirdly you guys are awesome. You love each other, you love your kids and you care enough to try and get a loving message out there too. I wish you all the best things you want in life.

What @thatsDax has actually done is open a lot of people eyes with these true words and made the world actually realise how hard it is for a man with every day struggles to pick them self up and move forward

This was so heart touching. Thank you for sharing it. God bless you and your family.

How this video speaks to me is not all the hard work that men do, but it's about their loneliness, their emotions, not feeling loved and being used for what we can provide. I feel that was the point Dax made in this vid/song

Amazing man you are truely blessed

Mehn .. I love you and your husband for this level of strength you two pull together to build ..GOD bless you both .. ❤

This is the best Reaction Video to this song, hands down. As a man I relate, kids, wife. Parents aging, all the above, house, cars, jobs, income, inflation. It's rough, thank God for you Our Helpmates. Great Song

The first time I heard this song I felt it. Like in my soul. I'm blessed to have my man, I have my brothers, I have sons and nephews and my son's friends who all have such good hearts but some really bad days and I see it even if they try to hide it. Every man and woman needs to hear this song. Love Dax's music always real. ❤

I love how he is immediately chocked up.... 😂. I feel like all Men could relate.

You are a GREAT wife. I can see in your reaction to your man having feelings. Bless you!! We need so many more women like you!

Love Caveman. He's realistic and genuine in his feelings. Thanks for sharing.

Caveman response was much like NY own and I'm thrilled that some women understand what us men keep inside for our families

Love you Brother

I know reaction videos are all over the place but this is amazing. I wish I knew you and I hope you two stay together forever and realize your dreams.

God bless the both of you and your children.

I'm 53, and part of the (many) generation(s) raised and told over and over that REAL men don't cry, REAL men don't show emotions. I've been in therapy for years, and this song let me cry for the first time in over a decade. During that decade I lost EVERYTHING, my wife, job, both sisters, and all that time I never cried. You were talking about the "Generational Curse", you as a mother, as a parent, as PARENTS together are the ones to break the curse. Teach your sons that showing emotions, all emotions, is a good thing, a natural thing. Teach your daughters that the men in their lives MUST be this way, and that the men aren't weak when they show their 'softer' emotions.

Thank you for being so honest, real and vulnerable. I appreciate you both so much for it.

This song should become the national anthem for men. As a society we have failed our men, women and children. We must do better. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Im blessed to have a wife that stands next to me in all we do. We lean on one another. It wasn't always that way. My first wife always stood on my shoulders. So grateful

I love the pure emotion from your husband.❤️I thank my husband all the time for everything he does for our family. I wish my father showed emotion, but it’s to late to talk with him now. Such a great musician.
