Why not also have a place where we can just cry like comedy show

I am feeling really emotional today and I wanna cry, maybe wanna go watch a performance and cry, sitting at the back where everyone else is emotional and are not bothered about me crying there. I am done with crying at home alone.

Data Scientists on Grapevine: Should I Ask For Sick Leave After Being Cheated On

I just found out today Iā€™ve been cheated on by my long term girlfriend who I lived with. Turns out sheā€™s been cheating for a few months but sheā€™s only just told me now because sheā€™s fallen out of love for me and sheā€™s fallen in love with him, so sheā€™s leaving me for him. She says I neglected giving her the attention she needed because I was so focused on work I forgot to do the nice things for her like bring her flowers, or take her out for dinner or to just show her how much I loved her. Even though Iā€™m so heart broken and havenā€™t stopped crying, I do forgive her because itā€™s true my work hours were bad and because we lived together I kept thinking in my head ā€œitā€™s fine, ill make it up to her next timeā€. Plus, I was planning to quit my job once bonus comes at the end of this year to find a more chilled job so I could spend more time with her, I truly am ready to leave my job and that was my plan so I was just holding out until then. But now I wonā€™t have the chance because she said its too late she has already lost interest in me and loves him. But this guy is a software engineer at a FAANG company earning 60-70L a year whilst only having to work 9-5 so heā€™s richer and has more free time to give her attention. Actually she said he only works around 3 hours per day, he does around 1 hour in morning then 2 hours after lunch and for the rest of the day heā€™s free to spend time with her, and his company doesnā€™t notice or mind. So this guy earns almost 3x my compensation for only 3 hours a day meanwhile Iā€™m working 12 hours a day She would sneak out whilst I was at work to go on dates with him or round his house and then she would come back to my home in my bed in time for when I arrived from work so I wouldnā€™t notice. Now I feel really broken, Iā€™m in no mental state to be working I canā€™t think about anything else I have deadline for work today and Iā€™m just sat here crying writing this post. I know men are meant to be strong and hold our emotions together but I really am sad. I want to ask for 3 days sick leave at work but I donā€™t know if this normal and acceptable to do? Given most sick leave would be for grievances like the death of a loved one etc. or am I being a cry baby and I should man up and continue to work?
