This is mainly a question for the girls, but here it goes (please bear with me):
Is it OK for a guy to be emotional at times? My girlfriend and I have been dating for a little over three months now. this morning we had plans to hang out, however, she said she was going to hang out with her room-mates instead. I am 100% ok with that.
The problem is, (and I know I was wrong), I got a little emotional when she told me and kind-of acted like a 4 year old and said "I though we had plans... ok well whatever have fun" to which she responded "our plans were you telling me to come get you. you just told me that I was."
Before I go any further, I just want to make it CLEAR that this was a decision made by both of us the previous night, and at no point in time did I or have I EVER dictated what she is/has/was doing. Not one second. I actually go out of my way to NOT act like that because that is what destroyed her last relationship.
So that was over a text message. after she said that I called her and unfortunately got a little emotional on the phone. Not yelling emotional, but "sobby" emotional because of what she said (that I was basically dictating what she does). You see, my main goal is to NOT control her, and her telling me that really rubbed me the wrong way. I wasnt "crying" to her or begging, but I was having a real hard articulating words because I was trying my best to not cry like a baby (im so stupid)
is it ok for a guy to get emotional sometimes? Looking back I feel like I'm a freaking idiot. Do guys get emotional? Why did I almost start crying? (god I sound like a baby) I know this sounds stupid, but I really would like your opinion on if its OK for guys to be emotional sometimes. What she said really hut my feelings.
What do you think? At no point did I actually start "boo hooing", but I mean I know for a fact she knew that I was pretty dang upset.
I am 24 and she is 20 (yeah yeah, laugh it up)
