The (male) therapist had to assure him I was only expressing an emotion, not having a mental health crisis, and no, I don't need to be evaluated for possible hospitalization JUST because I'm crying. It happens all the time in his office, and it's perfectly normal. Hubby was genuinely surprised by this.

That is ridiculous and over the top insane. You cried, so your husband thought you needed medical intervention and hospitalization? Really? Is your husband not familiar with the act of crying in the face of strong emotions?
Do you see how your husband is painting YOU as having severe medical issues just for crying, and is turning the problem around to be about YOU needing medical attention, rather than on his behaviors and treatment of you? Why were you crying? Was it because of how your husband treats you?
Sorry, but you shouldn't have to explain to someone that crying is simply an outpour of emotion. What is he, two years old?
