For me it seemed to correlate directly with the birth of my son. My theory is that his birth, the emotions of it, the sleep deprivation, and the neuro-chemical onslaught that most likely happened during that same time (it was easily the most emotional period of my life), have fundamentally rewired my brain to be more emotionally reactive (my wife would balk if I used the term "sensitive").
It's a good thing.

So probably you're experiencing being a bit more female in your hormone levels. (Best source I've seen on this is probably an endocrinologist doing a BBC program, which sorry I can't cite for you).
