I don't think any of us on this thread are advocating that viewpoint, Marv. Perhaps the OP's girlfriend is "determined" to see him cry, but most of us aren't hell-bent on getting our SO's to start bawling. The point in my posts was to say that WHEN my husband gets teary, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for those times... I never see it as a weakness. Do I actively WANT him to get blubbery on a regular basis? Hell no, one of us doing that is enough trouble as it is!!
But I am *open* to him expressing his emotions in that manner, and it is an expression that translates easily to me (it goes far beyond words). That's all.
