Karen, I can honestly say from what I have heard of your therapist, that it would not be a game. It wouldn't be a test. And he wouldn't be mocking you. It sounds as if he's trying hard to get you to open up, and it sounds as if he's a pretty open and transparent guy.
But I don't think there's anything wrong with saying you'd be uncomfortable if he cried with you. I don't have anything against men crying, or women. But I would feel somewhat compelled to try to comfort him or something and it might influence what I felt free to say in the future.
