It is an odd situation when men cry, because society paints this picture of us being these strong, heartless, infallible creatures. But men have similar emotions to women, and you should be happy that your husband is comfortable letting them out in front of you instead of keeping them bottled up, to a disastrous end! I understand that there is a slight "cultural difference" and that it is not comfortable, but bless your heart for being there for him! Give it time and it will not be awkward anymore, I had the same issues with my girlfriend at first as I am from an extremely emotionally closed off upbringing!
Thanks...I'm not sure whether it will ever be less awkward - I've known him for eight years! Still, your right about society's vision of men.
Great advice!

NP! I've been in the same situation as your husband, so I kinda feel his pain.
