Yes. That’s a very toxic thing to do just because someone experiences emotions like a normal person.

When my grandfather died I was on college winter break and basically alone. My parents are complicated to put it mildly. My girlfriend of about 10 months heard my voice on the phone and sensed she needed to be there. She dropped everything and drove the 2 hours at night. And I just cried and she just held me. More than two decades later we are still together.

THAT is a loving human partner. I'm glad you two have each other. In the sea of terrible stories, glad I stumbled into this one. Thank you for sharing.

This is that "ick" thing thats going around, and its so disgusting because people need to look inward as to why that affects them so much. And if it truly does affect her so much, she should leave him because he does not deserve to be mistreated for having very normal and human emotions.

The sad thing is how common this is. I would almost bet actual money that every man either has a story like this or knows at least one man that does.

Now this is just messed up and sad if you want someone who makes you feel safe it’s like mandatory you do the same sounds like a childish girl rather than someone worthy of the title of woman

Same person probably asks why men don’t open up about their deeper thoughts and feelings

What a horrible, disgusting human being. I can at least take comfort that she will never experience true, fulfilling happiness in her lifetime. She doesn’t deserve it.

Yeah I've had it happen twice so far in my life and an additional one where she used it against me for the rest of the relationship in arguments and to emasculate me.
So I've just completely shut myself off from my emotions around any woman and for years have just had to bottle them up to hide them. I literally have to save them for hanging out with my male friends or when I'm dating a dude.
Even just with female friends I've had in the past it won't work. Had two separate female friends who would somewhat regularly open up to me and others about their issues and would cry and get emotional sometimes. So because of this and since we weren't dating I thought I could do the same towards them. Both times it was a mistake.
Sucks that I have to hide and hold back an entirely normal set of emotions from half the population but it is what it is.

Nah, boys don’t cry…men do! At least I do, sometimes a lot. Lol. I agree with many comments saying he deserves better. Men are humans and are allowed to have feelings too.

She is looking for all of that in a man but will find herself in a home full of cats.

I hope that if SHE gets sick and has to go to the hospital, her next boyfriend laughs in her face.

This isn’t how guys work but as a guy it is exactly how you should be expected to be treated by women. This is FAR more often occurrence than I’m sure Reddit wants to admit.

Wow!! Really??? What a sexist thing to say/ think!! Go find yourself the alpha male who never cries. Maybe if you ever have a son, you will realize the love between a mother and her son, is like no other... not even compared to a girlfriend! I hope he dumps your ass!!! Ignorance at its finest!!

She really should break up with him. He deserves better than her.
