Someone Asked Men To Open Up About The Last Time They Cried, 30 Gave Honest Answers

Crying in my car right now.

My wife has cancer. It scares me to death. I have to be brave at home. My car has become my place to escape to cry and release my fear and sorrow

When I had to put my cat to sleep in December. We had 18 years with her.

Last night sent my girlfriend the basic Good night message. She replied back with “I love you”. Sat there and started crying over the fact that she is the most important person in my life and that I'm so lucky that this woman loves me.

Last September.

There was a recent shooting here. While it was happening, my kids were getting texts on who it was and all of their internet postings.

His intentions were to shoot up their high school on the first day of class. He got impatient, and instead shot up our local grocery store a week before.

My daughter asked me if she could skip the first day of school. It was that moment that I realized our society had completely failed our children. We talked about it and she mentioned that everybody thinks it is pathetic that older people have completely given up on them.

That is when I realized that they are just as intelligent as we are...and they realize that all of us adults are "Pathetic". We just let people kill them and they recognize that.

A couple of years ago I had a dream about my mom. I was just talking, catching up, then I remembered she passed away. I just hugged her and started crying, yelling 'I miss you!' She hugged me back and said 'I miss you too.'

Then I woke up and cried for 30 minutes.

January 4th. On January 1st, I got a message from my dad that the family dog had a stroke and passed away in the front yard.
During the time before I stood at his grave just before I left to head back to my home, I just didn’t cry, I was questioning why I wasn’t.
Then standing at his grave, just a rush of emotions came in and just sobbed my heart out, then got in the car with my girlfriend and had to drive home.
His name was Snitchel and he was a good 14 year old pupper.
I’m 21, so he was a part of my life for about 70% of it. Was hard to say goodbye, especially because I wasn’t able to see him on Christmas because I got Covid, and I didn’t get to see him open his Christmas gifts like he usually does, during Christmas and in general during his final days.

Two weeks ago. When it really hit me how much I let my managers abuse me. I quit a few days later and I start my new job on the 27th.

December last year, my wife shared with me that we are pregnant.

It’s something we have both wanted for such a long time, when she showed me the test I was so happy I just burst into tears right in front of her.

Six months in the NICU will break anybody.

3 weeks ago. My best friend took his own life and left behind his wife and 2 kids.

May 2021. My wife had a cerebral stroke. I thought that I will lose her, by death or by being a vegetable/incapable of communication.

I felt like a log at the sea, purposeless, aimless. We have a daughter and I knew that I should remain strong for her, but my wife give me purpose... Without her, I'm incomplete. I'm less.

Just for God's grace she survived with almost no side effects.

Today, I am freshly 18, homeless, 0 contact with my family and in deep s**t :)

Few weeks ago. Friend died. Cried myself to sleep for a few nights.

Tonight. My best friend told me that I don't make her happy, and that she doesn't want me in her life anymore.

I'm in love with her.

Despite the username, I'm a man, not a lesbian.

5 minutes ago, my dad died of cancer recently.

At the hospital with my 2 year old daughter. She just had a seizure in the waiting room. I felt so lost and useless...

But it cut the wait time down to seconds!

Earlier today. Reading a story about a 6 year old kid that was gunned down by his s**t step-father.

His gap-toothed smile in the photo set me off. I cannot comprehend the capacity to harm children like that.

I don't remember. I feel so sad and lonely sometimes but I still can't cry. I wish I could cry like a kid again.

Hey man, let me tell you, it's been a while since I last cried. But, that's not because I'm trying to be tough or anything. I just haven't been in a situation where I felt like crying. I think it's important for guys to recognize that it's okay to cry and show emotions. The last time I cried was when my grandpa passed away a few years ago. It was really tough to say goodbye to him and I couldn't hold back the tears. It felt good to let it all out though, and I think it helped me to process my emotions and come to terms with his passing. So, guys, don't be afraid to cry when you need to. It's a sign of strength, not weakness.

My wife died.
