Men are often considered a failure at expressing emotions because of many factors. Men often feel that if they express their emotions out in the open, particularly sadness like crying, they will come out as weak, or people won't like them or people will think of them as weak.

But what will you do if even your fiancee doesn't like it? A man went through something similar, and he shared his story on Reddit. Here's what went down.

A 26-year-old man shared his story in a lengthy post on Reddit about a "stressful" time in his life. " I just don¡¯t know what was happening to me mentally. Then one night, I just started crying randomly for no reason. My fiancee was surprised but she comforted me, and she asked me what it was about, and I told her it was life in general," the man wrote.

A week after the man had a mental breakdown, he got a promotion at work, and realised that he was just overthinking everything and that things were actually fine. "Mentally I started feeling much better and things were back to normal," he added.

But something happened recently that left the man rather disturbed. Last week, his sister called and told him something about his fianc¨¦e.

The man's fianc¨¦e and her best friend were talking about green flags what they love about their fiancee and what they could potentially be better at. During this conversation, his fiancee joked about his crying last year and she found that a ick.

Upon confronting this with his fianc¨¦e, she nervously admitted the conversation but added that she was just joking and didn¡¯t mean it. "My fiancee started crying and told me she was just joking about it and that she loved that I was comfortable expressing my emotions to her," he wrote.

"I don¡¯t really believe my fiancee, and I feel really sad and hurt that she found my crying an ¡°ick¡±, and that she joked about it with her friend," the man ended the post.

Now he is considering breaking up with her.

How did people on the internet react?

A user suggested, "So, this potential wife is someone that you will lean heavily on as a spouse. Marriage is not a Disney movie; you need to know this woman will have your back if you lose your job, if you have a terrible accident, if you have children that are non-typical physically or mentally, if you basically don¡¯t have sunshine and rainbows every day."

"She found it ick when you have feelings.. Oh boy," wrote another.

"Guess how many times in 23 years I have joked (read mocked) my partner's honest emotions to anyone?? Never. How disloyal and disrespectful. Never mind getting the ick - what I feel when my partner opens up to me is love and warmth and intimacy," suggested another.
