Hi Billy it’s not a situation right now It more about situations in the past. I’m often seen has quite a strong person but when I have shown emotion the results for me have been negative. I’m often a rock for other people be it my kids or mother or anyone else but I’ve always found being tough I’ve had more respect. But I do have an emotional 😭 side especially when I watch an emotional 😭 movie 🎥 by myself where no one can see 😳me.... but think there are many different examples of different situations of when or where. So I left the emotional situation or time up to the reader to explain when they thought the situation was an appropriate time for a man to show emotion.... Maybe a bit of a blank canvas where this question is involved. Open to input from the reader, forum member to add a situation where it is or not appropriate ? I think your answer covers the way my question was intended due to you explaining emotion too early is off putting... I’ve had also other situations where I’ve explained how someone’s reaction has made me feel so for me emotion in a communication sense has been possitive for me..
