Search Results: telling someone you like them relationships

I kinda wanna talk about this issue because how men react to emotion is alarming. Put aside what your dads and your moms told you, men, "men don't cry", "act like a man", "you're being a ____"--

I want to know do all men actually feel like you can't express yourself to anyone? Leave the 'no homo' thing behind, leave the pride behind and actually say this. I've allowed the anon button for you who want to express yourself on this situation.

If you don't know what toxic masculinity is, it's you telling a man/boy/kid to not cry bc men "don't cry", they "don't share" or "show emotion" or they're "weak". I'm gonna be honest but that really bothers us women (leaving the closure and the relationships to the side) because we want to know, if you're a friend or a stranger that you're ok. The rates for suicide for men are so high and it's because they're taught to suppress their feelings and usually that creates a problem in a relationship for someone whether they're from the lgbtq community or in a straight relationship. Abuse sometimes happens because they're taught to suppress feelings. So I want to know. What do YOU think about toxic masculinity? Remember this is anon so technically (hopefully) you feel you're safe here (:

I believe some things should be kept a secret for good. My boyfriend and I are now in our 5th year of our relationship. We met in our freshman year of college

Fast-forward to 2017:
My boyfriend supposedly never got drunk, wasn't too much into alcoholic drinks and if he drank, he didn't go anything over 2 beers. Some of us wanted to know what it would be like if he ever got drunk. One day he got drunk at a family reunion and started telling about sensitive subjects from his childhood (things I didn't know myself) and started crying. Then we started worrying when he began throwing up. The next day, he got better but suspected someone spiked his drink. He never found out who but till this day believes it was spiked and thinks it was my male cousin because they hated each other and almost got into a fight.

This is my secret:
He is correct that his drink was spiked but incorrect in the person. It was really me and two of my friends. Though they just followed through. Basically I was the mastermind in this. Though I didn't mean for it to go that far; never intended to get him sick. I just wanted to see what it was like seeing him drunk. I regret it and will take this secret to the grave. He did opened up about things in his past and trusts me.

So if you were me would you keep that a secret?
