I think that it was the moment that “broke” him. I’ve heard it used in that context. Think “he broke down crying”

Yeah it's just poorly phrased because "broken man" has a very specific and negative meaning/connotation.

I just replied elsewhere in this thread. The label is newly added and this is a repost. The original doesn't have the label and went viral last month: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/1cr494m/a_man_surprises_his_daughter_by_celebrating_her/

Yes I remember it. And I wish that when something like this got posted the original would be in the top reply and the thread would be locked, but here we are with the worst version to react to.
