There has never been a truer statement. From my experience, men tend to freak out if their 'masculinity' is questioned in any way shape or form. Example; my husband actually left the room during an episode of True Blood when two male characters began having 'sex' stating I can't watch two guys like that. I commented 'well if it was two girls you'd be watching so what's the difference?' He stated 'Of course there's a difference'. No elaboration just that and then he got offended when I asked him to explain the difference. *shrugs*

Things will work out, hopefully sooner rather than later.
