I cried in front of my boyfriend and now I’m embarrassed. What do I do?

I cried in front of my boyfriend for the first time today. I was doing some homework for one of my classes which involves a lot of math, I watched the video over and over and there was still problems that I couldn’t get. My boyfriend came over right when I was in the middle of it and I started crying right when he said hi to me. He asked me what was wrong and I told him. He was really sweet about it and offered to help me with it. He let me calm down for a few minutes and after that we went about our day like normal. I still feel embarrassed about it and think that maybe he sees me differently because looking back I cried over something so little.

The emotional response is something that separates most men and most women. Any guy who has a brain expects a woman to respond more on an emotional level, and the fact that you cried in his presence shows that you trust him enough to reveal some of your vulnarability. If I was your boyfriend, I would interpret this as simply a sign of your trust.

Are you embarrassed that you cried in front of him or for the reason you cried? Either way, it's fine. I cry out of frustration at times. I remember a while back, when I was having a horrible day, I made dinner, fixed my plate, and when I went to set it on the table, it fell off! I cried for 20 minutes 😂😂 I was pissed, frustrated, tired, you name it! I was embarrassed but a good boyfriend will definitely understand and try to make you feel better.

If he was intending to be your boyfriend for any significant length of time he was eventually going to see you cry -- or at least tear up during allergy season -- right? Come on, kiddo. Don't beat yourself up over this. You'll be ok. (And if he is scared off so easily he's not the guy for you anyhow, ok?)

Don’t be , most guys’ already know a girl expresses her emotions differently than a guy does , so there is nothing to be embarrassed about , your boyfriend immediately tried to help you which means he cares about you and loves you , so don’t sweat the tears.

Aw, don't sweat it! Showing emotions is a vital part of being human, and believe me, your boyfriend probably finds you even more endearing for being real with him. Crying over math? We've all been there! 😅 He's shown he cares by comforting you; that's a green flag, darling! Honestly, it’s a win-win—you get the math help and a caring boyfriend. Embrace that vulnerability and don't let embarrassment crash this love party! 🌟

It's okay to feel vulnerable and embarrassed. Don't try to suppress those feelings. Don't worry about what your boyfriend thinks.

Crying is also a emotional response so I wouldn't think too much about it and your boyfriend was okay with it so just move on.

It's fine. Girl crying in front of you is not at all a turn off for men unlike the other way around.
