You're the exception to the rule. Most women don't think like you do so that's lovely.

What's the point in putting it out there if you can't do anything to change or fix it?

Simple: it's just not that important to us. If it's important to you, meaning women, then you need to convince us as to why we should.

My wife thinks it's probably a good thing that I freely express my emotions.

But she said she wishes I would do it outside where she didn't have to hear me.

And I should try to use fewer four letter words so the neighbors don't call the cops.

It's really ridiculous that so many people expect men to go through the hardships of life without ever shedding a tear. Every human being is entitled to feelings, even men.

Not that my bf is a good example, he keeps all his emotions bottled up, but I'd like him to open up a bit more with me. I tell him it's fine if he wants to vent with me, but he never does.

My father is even worse. Actually it's strange to think of him as someone with feelings because he never shows them. He's the typical middle aged macho man who can take everything without breaking. That's obviously not true, I'm sure he must have had his moments. Despite him not being emotionally close to me or my siblings, I love him to bits.
