There is no reality where I would expose myself to that kind of abuse, because it is abuse. Anyone mocked for having emotions is being abused.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I would find far more contentment being alone and free to cry when needed than being afraid to show emotion around someone who is supposed to love and support me.
I suppose I’m lucky to be with someone who has expressed satisfaction at the fact I don’t bottle up my emotions.

So what if you get mocked for not being “manly”? Man up and double down. Tell her a real man knows it’s ok to show emotions from time to time
You can’t demand people accept you because they just won’t. If this guy’s wife doesn’t respect emotional expression that’s not likely changing.
This isn’t the internet. People who respect you IRL will either listen or debate with you
And they SHOULD NOT BE MARRIED
Find a better human to be your wife.
I know that’s an extreme comment but I couldn’t imagine being with someone where I have to be guarded or keep walls up, that’s really unhealthy.

If you can’t put down your arms with the people you love, it’s not true love
