| Carolyn Hax is away. The following appeared April 28, 2012. Hi, Carolyn: Last night, I was watching a movie with my boyfriend. During one scene, he started to tear up, and by the end, he was pretty much crying. I was flabbergasted at first — my boyfriend is pretty “manly”(to his credit, the scene was sports-related) and doesn’t get emotional easily. While the scene was moving, I would not say it was a tearjerker. I made the mistake of laughing. Well, that made him angry, and now he is not speaking to me. Was I wrong, or is he being oversensitive? — Anonymous |
