A Rather Cathartic Moment

Hung out with a guy buddy of mine today, and we got to talking about his departed mom and my departed brother.  He broke down and I hugged him and cried too.  First time I've shed tears in the presence of a guy.  Rather liberating!  Felt good!

Tears are good. Some people find it hard to cry in front of others, and I would say most men have probably been socialised not to. I myself find it hard to cry in front of others, I like to cry privately, but there is also something very special and sacred about sharing your tears with another. I\'m happy for you that you had this experience, many men never get this experience. Tears are cleansing.
