Funny you should ask, but I posted this earlier-
“ I suppose your definition of weakness is the crux of this argument.
I’ve been married 20 years now, have several children, and overall a really lovely relationship with my wife.
Over the course of those 20 years I have not pretended to be an island of a man, aloof and unaffected by the world and my place in it.
I’ve wept (not cried) in front of her. When she first asked me to tell her what the war was really like, when my mom died, when I told her that I felt called to The Church after a lifetime of hedonistic atheism, and such. There are pivotal events in a man’s life that should elicit sting emotions, to react otherwise to them would seem odd.
That said, I don’t expect a nanny when I’m sick. Unless I’m knocking in deaths door I’m putting my boots on and going to work.”
I would say there is a difference between crying like a child vs weeping in a controlled manner.
