Whoa, this comment thread is wild. Sorry to those who have to deal with shame. I also don't like being hugged or kissed, but that's true regardless of their gender. That said, you should be allowed to cry, and you should at least be allowed to express your feelings. It's not a sign of weakness, and if anything, a sign of bravery.

But, reading your comments, grateful to not have a wife who judges my masculinity. I still gotta do my part around the house and stay respectful, but if I needed to vent over a bad day, she's all ears. Thanks for that.
