@ CrazyGirl – Thanks Kaneisha. That’s a good one too and I never would’ve thought of it on my own.

Another one is to actually show too much delight or interest in the fact that he has opened up, like: “Oh my goodness, I’m so happy you’re finally opening up and showing your emotions!” That’s annoying to guys too. If he knows you’re going to squeal and make a big deal about him showing his feelings, he’ll be compelled to hide them in the future.

@ Ken and Sam – I’ll second that motion. After all if your partner’s not bothering to listen to you, there are only so many options you have to get her (or his) attention.

//Oh honey, don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll figure it out on your own.//

Oh, I’ll figure it out, all right. With my tongue between some other woman’s legs.

While I see the wisdom in the list above, my default response to emotional displays (by anyone, neither gender nor sexual orientation specific) is to put the kettle on. This is because a good cup of tea solves all problems.
Or gives me something to do while they pull themselves together. And the sound of the boiling water will provide cover to me muttering “mama’s boy” and “pussy” under my breath if it is a chap!
