AITA for yelling at my husband that'd I hate for our kids to turn out like him

I'm a mom to 3 boys and I love my husband but he's so emotionally stunted all " boys don't cry /Mens man machismo" never wants to talk about his feelings Of course my oldest Kyle (15M) as soon as he got to old for snuggles he followed suit especially since hitting his teenage years. Hes all about hockey and wrestling and hanging out with the boys. He never wants to talk about how he's feeling or confide in me anymore or express himself.

So Kyle had been dating one of his teammates "Dougy" for a few months a lifetime for teens. His first real relationship. Over the ast week I noticed him pretending not to mope around and I hadn't seen Dougy around lately. I finally confronted him about it yesterday and he finally broke down crying and told me they broke up cause Dougy cheated on him for not doing something he wasn't ready for. He layed his head in my lap like he used to when he was little and I just let him cry it out and talk. Of course his dad home early walks in and just looks disappointed asking what all the fuss is about some dumb boy. Kyle jumps up trying his best to quit crying and just says nothing and basically runs to his room. I got upset and I yelled at him why did he have to ruin that moment that our son was finally opening up to me. He just goes that he's a boy and he shouldn't be crying like a baby over some dumb kid. I yelled at him that I hope our boys never turn out like him and I never seen him look that hurt. When didn't talk the rest of the night or most of the today. My sister thinks I should apologize and I might have gone to far.
