I have never cheated nor have I thought about it, nor do I desire to.....even on our worst of days. When he saw the email (snooping) He was shocked, hurt, and actually had major tears in his eyes. The relationship was still kinda new and he is 6yrs younger than I. Because of my own insecurities I always wondered in the back of my head if he really loved me or was I something to pass the time etc. When I saw how upset he was I said to him.."Wow, you really do care, Holy S**t!?!We are still together and he has been in the doghouse lately. Now he cries much more often when he's in trouble and I'm beginning to feel like he's faking it to make me see he cares.Should I tell him to knock it off, and I think he's faking it? Or I fear maybe I'm just a huge sceptic when it comes to men and them being trustworthy creatures from my crazy past.I'd also love to hear some opinions on men that are comfortable enough to cry....do you think it should be more accepted by society etc. ?

Tears can be manipulative, but in general, I think that it is very healthy for people to cry when they are sad or feel the need to, especially men, and that it should definitely be more accepted by society. If people (especially men) had more freedom socially to express all of their feelings, not just the ones that are socially accepted like anger, etc, and could cry more freely, the world would really be a different place.
