Ted Lasso brings on boyfriends happy tears

So I binged all of Ted lasso while my partner was working abroad. He's never been someone who can talk about his feelings. (been together 10+ years) He does try but he definitely has something that blocks him from saying intimate things, fine with 'I love you's' and 'you look lovely' but ask him 'Why' and he shuts up tight as a clam. Watching Ted lasso with him he's been visibly teary eyed at alot of the happy and sad moments in the show. it's totally tugging at his heart strings. I think it's so cute and makes me feel closer to him. He is a very sensitive man and I wonder if it's saying the things he wishes he could say. or seeing men that are able to put to words what's in their hearts makes him feel that desire to be that way too? what ever it is. it's one big greenflag to me and makes me love him all the more.
