Apologies for my absence from the forum over the past few weeks - after recent difficult times I needed to take a bit of a break from things.

But, back and with a male observation as well. I'm not going to say much about the situation or how the observation came about to ensure it stay 100% private for the individual.
All I will say is this was a 1-2-1 observation, one which am sure the female comfort lovers would have given their right arm to be part of.

The crying started almost from nowhere and was very unexpected - his voice did not break as such, it was more of a gasp of breath that interupted what he was saying. Tears filled his eyes and only moments later a large tear rolled unchecked down his cheek. As he continued to speak he broke off mid-sentence a few times attempting to get control of his emotions. Eyes where swimming with tears. This when on for about 5 - 10 minutes, during this time a few tears ran down the side of his nose and two or three down his face which eventully dripped off his chin. At no time did he make any attempt to hide is crying or wipe any of the tears away - which surprised me.

Have to say I felt quite uncomfortable with this observation - it feels very natural to comfort a crying female but not so comfortable when it's a male.
