Yeah, that can be nice. I'm a bit old fashioned that way. But I do wish men in general would open up a bit more. I feel like all the stoicism can get out of hand and some are losing touch with how they feel.

i wish i could cry. you are very lucky to have such a supportive husband. having a strong shoulder would be so nice.

So right star. The men on ds start to be pretty open and share pretty quick. Probably cause they are surrounded by a bunch of very expressive women....lol...

I do agree that more men should open up. Nothing wrong with that. They would still be strong and manly in my books.

Hmmm when I cry it is the sound of my soul in despair. I have no problem saying that I cry. I am a soft-hearted person that really feels the emotions of others. All emotions be it love anguish Hurt hate all of them and it can really wear a person out. It's part of the reason I don't hang out with people that much.

druid.... I think you could use that as a good thing. You can easily relate to people. Thats a good thing.

At the same time don't let people "use" you. People that are sensitive or that can relate easily ( find a way to have some kind of commen ground with almost anyone.....which I think is a great trait to have)

The only thing anyone can do is not completey have their emotions dictate their life.

My bf has taken his role to the extreme bella,how do I deal with that?He's cried once in 7 years.I know he cares,I know he adores me, but he's like a stone when I need him,I needed a hug last week during a panic attack..and he would not give me one,he told me to grow up....you're gonna tell me I'm with the wrong man aren't you? xx

I am a woman, and I dont cry eah, either publicly or on my own...I wish I could as by not crying I am not opening the channel to my emotions, and am disconnected with them
I learnt from a very early age that showing any sort of emotions, especially pain would only create more pain for me.
For me to cry, I gotta be breaking, for me to be at breaking is for me to be unsafe. I tend to have stratagies in place so I dont get there

No....Susy... doesn't mean he is the wrong man. Truet me , my husband can get quiet annoyed with the crying. ( I don't cry all the time either)And it really doesn't mean that he is "their" for me. It just means that I am the one that gets to "cry" between the two of us.


some guys just don't cry much. and I don't think there is anything wrong ith that either. I'm sure they get their feelings out one way or another.....

Strong or whatever you call it, I kinda like how they deal with things. Sometimes to much crying and stuff doesnt help anyway. They have a way of putting more logic into things.....

wish I was more like em...that made me laugh bella,I used to think of my bf as spock from star trek,no emotions,pure logic,I admire that in him and he's trying to be more of a wimp for my benefit lol xx

I cry but usually only when I'm on my own, its not emotion I can show openly, sad yes but true, why? well maybe it'll show weakness? hmmmmm something for me to ponder over for the day now !!!
