My (39f) husband (41m) is the hardest man I’ve ever met. I’ve never seen him mad, angry, cry, etc… he doesn’t show his emotions at all but on the flip side his the most gentle and caring man I’ve ever met.
Last November my husband’s twin brother passed after a 7 year battle with cancer. I come home from work today and I see my husband looking at photos of him and his brother and I saw and asked what he was doing, he quickly said nothing and put them away and as he tried to hurry and leave the room I stepped in front of him and put my arms around him and hugged him and then he started crying his eyes out and I in all of my 5’3 and a half glory held this 6’4 240 lbs man in my arms.
In our 22 years together, 6 kids, countless great times he cried to me and it shocked me because I never knew how much he held in. I love this man more then anything for allowing himself to be vulnerable with me.

Wow, the world around him really taught him it’s not ok to show emotions. This really must have been quite an experience. Thanks for sharing it and for being someone’s safe place.
I lost my mother and grandfather a few days apart in April 2020. If it wasn’t for the love of my wife, and the way she opened herself and took so much of my pain within her, not to ease it, but to share it with me. If it wasn’t for that. I don’t know what I would have done.
Bless you for being there for him. Trust me, it was felt.
Sending you both good energy 🖤
