Saying "that hurt" is grown-up.
Sulking isn't a plan.
Should guys hide it when they're hurt?
Why?
No. Hiding it usually turns into sulking, going cold or getting back at the other person, and none of that solves anything. Saying "that hurt" calmly is the grown-up move: it tells the other person what happened and gives them a chance to fix it. It takes more strength to say it than to pretend you don't care.
