My T cried when I told him about how my cat died. We are both cat lovers, and he told me afterward how he had lost several cats, and how much my story touched a raw nerve. Ts grieve too...
It was subtle though, just a tear or two and some sniffling. I felt bad for him and tried to protect his feelings by leaving out the gruesome details. I was not expecting my T to have such an emotional reaction, when he has been so stalwart through my recounting of my past traumas.
