I used to think it was, that I should hide my emotions. That came from my parents. When I was younger, if I cried in front of someone, it was like "Oh no, now I've let them see that." When I cried once in front of my boss, I was convinced I'd be fired. When I cried in front of various exes, I was convinced they'd end things. But I've come to have a healthier relationship with crying. I still save some of my crying for times when I'm alone in my car or in the shower. But I do plenty in T and marriage counselor's office (including today, which my H rated as a "7" on the weepiness scale for me). I think it helps to get those feelings out. For me, it shows I feel safe with my T and MC that I'm OK getting all weepy and snotty in front of them.
