How do you feel when your partner cries in front of you?

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

My girlfriend cries rarely, but when it happens I feel literal punctures to my heart, and the only thing I want is to make her feel better do my best to listen to her and help her out.
What about you?

[midnightmoon05]

I wish he would, I would feel so connected and we can hold each other. It’s painful and feel alienated to see he can’t cry. but turn angry.
Did you cry in front of her?

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Yes, I cried in front of her a couple of times, she hugged and comforted me.

[PrincessGrail]

Same as you

[PrincessGrail]

Thanks 😊

[Logorithim]

I want to comfort my girlfriend if she cries, holding her in my arms and reassuring her

[Logorithim]

Thanks for the MHO

[OlderAndWiser]

When my girlfriend cries, I want to put my arms around her and never let go.

I remember the first time my boyfriend cried in front of me. He is usually the type of guy who tries to look tough and dominant all the time lol so seeing him cry for the first time literally broke my heart and made me cry as well. I held him in my arms, gave him soft forehead kisses, stroke his hair, and actively listened to him. Told him I will always be there for him and that I love him with all my heart. But I also thought it was super cute and I felt so special knowing he was able to cry in front of me since he has never cried in front of anyone before.

I was raised by my father and he has a military background. I don’t cry much only out of frustration or possibly anger. Very rarely do I cry. So when my husband cried, I couldn’t understand or relate because I felt like he caused his own pain. I guess you can call me cold hearted which I’m not but I’m just not much of a crier so when I see people crying for reasons I wouldn’t be crying for I just look at them like why are you crying?

When I was dating, my boyfriend thought "men don't cry" but as soon as he talked to me one day he broke down sobbing and that's the only time he did that with me it made me happy he could be vaurnable with me and makes me kinda happy to remember even if we aren't together anymore :)

[princessfromjupiter]

Crying in front of people is annoyingly dramatic and so attention seeking. I would find that really unnecessary and embarrassing unless it happened for a damn good reason.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

I generally agree, but if you can't do it in front of your partner and for a good reason, when can you?

[princessfromjupiter]

When you’re by yourself

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

That's my reasoning concerning myself, but my girlfriend bashed me for it and would get furious if she discovered me doing it

[princessfromjupiter]

lol How often do you cry?

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

It happened only three times in almost two years, one time due to stress, another for a death and the last time because my colleagues of the cultural organization wanted to pin the blame for an incident and the disruption on the event on me. The last one was more of a screaming fit and crying out of anger.

[morimeme1]

My boyfriend has never cried just like that, the only few times it happened was because I was crying and he felt guilty about it, he hates when I cry (sadly I do that rather often) and says it makes him feel like crying.

[needhelp777]

It makes me sad and want to wipe away his tears and comfort and hold him and makes me wanna cry to

[Secret6620]

Helpless and broken. I literally try to move worlds to fix it. 🧚💙

[DizzyDesii]

I love that theyre that comfortable around me. I just want to hold them and cry to

My girlfriend is very sensitive. We have been dating for four months and she’s cried in front of me three times already and that’s completely fine.

Being a sensitive person myself I feel better that she isn’t some callus bitch. In general women have MUCH much less tolerance for sensitive men than vice versa. At least I feel like the man in this relationship.

[Factshurt90]

Depends on who it was. Once guy made me feel irritated because it was a form of manipulations. With the other It pulled my nurturing side.

[311WasAnInsideJam]

Hasn't happened yet in my current relationship, but in previous ones I make a point to give some space, because it's never had anything to do with me.

[up_64]

I haven't had a partner yet do I'll just suppose its more or less like a really close friend in this sense. I normally react by being awkward because I'm bad a at social interaction and I don't want to make it worse.

[Alyssa_K]

I feel the same as you, I would do my best to listen to him, hug and hold him (probably cry with him too) till he feels better.

[Scorpioqueen1988]

Like he is faking it. Which he usually is. You can tell it is awkward and forced on his part and usually because he did something wrong.

[Ace-Of-Spades]

Crying makes me uncomfortable, so I usually just make the person laugh or I just sit with them quietly.

[sasukeuchiha7]

Depends on why they're crying. A proper reason, I'm there for her. Something stupid, I'm not going to encourage you.

[Rangers]

I don't, nor have I ever had a partner, but if my bestfriend did, I'd feel same as you, but I wouldn't be able to cry myself.

[Gavyn]

All I want to do is hold her close and comfort her and dry every tear.

[spop1]

It would make me sad and probably cry too. I would want to help him feel better.

[Random_Guy_Online]

I would feel manipulated. I've never had a girl cry in front of me tho
