For a man to cry, he has to be VERY, VERY secure in his manhood. He also has to trust you, as his woman to not think less of him if he gets to that point. Once he can do that, it's a wrap. Deep down, most men don't want to look bad in front of other macho men (even though they have no relationship with them whatsoever). Braunwyn, your bro was a hella strong man to go through all that he did. That, in my opinion is the epitome of strength.

Yea, the last time he died was the 3rd or 4th time. I almost laugh saying it. Even then, he hung on for so long. He was all heart and the strongest man I've ever known.

I don't have a problem with men crying in certain situations, but once a month sounds extremely excessive.

It's okay to be a rock ... not a stone.

My Mom had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

She was given a month or so to live. She was at a nursing facility and was being treated through hospice care. All of this was just so sudden... I found her on the floor at her house had to get her in the hospital... dealing with doctors etc... trying to get all of the of her affairs in order, getting her apartment cleanup and her stuff moved.

IDK... I never cried through out the whole thing, I suppose I was too busy trying to get through "it"

One day we were visiting her at the nursing home and we were outside, they had a nice little courtyard garden area. I was there with Mrs. Chow and all of the sudden I felt this wave go through me... it was uncontrollable, I was shaking and trembling I almost had a complete meltdown....

I had to do everything in my power not to collapse and burst out in tears....

I've never experienced anything like that in my life.....

That is normal. Once you get through all that, then it hits you.

The thing is, everyone expresses emotions in different ways. Because a man doesn't cry, doesn't mean he is repressing anything. We might find other ways to express emotions. Men also process what they are feeling differently than women. It is hardwired into them from days of old. Neither way is wrong.

Nothing wrong with a guy crying. Girls think a guy crying is weak. Grown women offer their shoulder and a tissue.
