Guys, really? You guys are acting as though it's terrible to ask your boyfriend/girlfriend to change in any way, ever. If someone is overly sensitive, is it such a terrible thing to ask them to toughen up a little bit? If someone is really impatient, or rude, or even insensitive, would you never ask them to change? You're assuming this girl shamed her boyfriend, but maybe he does need to toughen up if he breaks into tears after one small remark. I think it would've been more cruel for her to simply break up with him without first sharing her concerns with him. Maybe now she will break up with him, and at least he'll know why. Secondly, just because she asked him to toughen up doesn't mean she thinks men don't have feelings. That's a stupid assumption. There's a difference between having emotions and being overly-sensitive. If a guy starts crying at a small remark (or if a girl starts crying at a small remark) then I would call them overly-sensitive, and that's tough for someone to deal with in a relationship. Just because something offends you doesn't mean it's unfair.
He's human, don't ask someone to change.
What if he was severely depressed and just needed his girlfriend to be kind and understanding
I saw a FML saying "today my girlfriend asked me to man up and act tougher. I started crying." I didnt see the date on it but that would he hilarious if it was your boyfriend.
Sounds like he has emotional and/or personal problems that you don't know about. Either talk to him about it or you should break up. He doesn't deserve a girlfriend who won't accept him for who he is. Also you don't deserve someone you are not happy with.
If you can't love him for who he is, he deserves someone better
AWWW..! Sounds like a cute baby..! I'll take him and cuddle him instead..! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
.
I had one of those. dump him now. it's not going to get any better.
