How do you feel when you see your partner crying?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I feel horrible when that happens.

Today the Woman's association my wife is involved in had the election of their new President, and my wife was running for the position.

She was the seeming favorite and everyone hyped her to try and throw her hat in, and she campaigned and worked hard for the last months (just like the current political elections, because it has political connotations), and shs had prepared quite a number of projects for her term.

At first things were going well, but when they started counting the votes she texted me things weren't going that well. I came over and she was there with the face she makes when she's trying hard to not cry. She lost by a very large margin, and some people had put not very flattering comments on their votes.

She didn't even stay for the post-election party, she just wanted to go home. She was crying out of bitterness and was confused why she did so bad when pretty much everyone was convinced she would win. I did my best to console her and remind her that politics are like that and to not take it personally, she said she feels it's personal and went straight to bed.

I am leaving her alone for now, I'll try to talk about it tomorrow.

Seeing my partner cry evokes a deep sense of empathy and concern. It makes me want to provide comfort and support, to understand the cause of their distress, and to help alleviate their pain. I feel a strong urge to be there for them, offering a listening ear, a comforting presence, or practical assistance, depending on what they need. Witnessing their vulnerability also strengthens my emotional connection with them, reinforcing my commitment to being a compassionate and reliable partner. Ultimately, their tears prompt a protective and caring response, aiming to help them feel heard, loved, and reassured. read

In my opinion, I usually feel a sense of confusion when I see my partner crying. First of all, I worry that he is upset and I want to help him. At the same time, I share his pain and do my best to support him. I feel the depth of our relationship and our commitment, and I do my best to ensure his peace.

As a woman, any partner I’ve had in the past only cried if they lost a close relative… I’ve seen them go through massive medical things without shedding a tear, which to me is cause for concern, but guys… are guys. They cry or “buck up and carry on” as needed. Personally, I’m not much of a crier either, but I’ve always tried to just be there for my man when I know something emotional is going on … just in case he needs someone to confide in. It’s not something you can push, but I’ve always grown up with supporting people atriums me so I try to offer the same to others.

Your wife is a strong woman. It is no easy thing putting your neck out like that, and you a good husband.

You shatter for them. In my case it was an incredibly emotional time.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Thank you.
I told her she has been brave and many voted for her meaning she had the faith of many, but she was so down she wouldn't hear it.
Hopefully tomorrow she'll feel better.

I’m very upset if it’s not tears of happiness. It ruins my day if my boyfriend is upset and crying and there’s no resolution

[sirderpsalot123]

I hate it and I want it to stop because I hate seeing her upset. Sometimes it goes from compassion to annoyance when she cries over trivial things tho

[dustybiker2]

She might be already overwhelmed with her day when it comes to the trivial things, it's usually a sign of more when small things tip a person.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker2 I know lol I try not to get annoyed, but sometimes I'm just thinking "I just wanted to have a good day today and she's crying about this?"

[dustybiker2]

Just tel her you love her and there to vent if needed. It's a balm to soothe all wounds.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker2 👍

[GeminiDiamond]

Good man for being there for her, and also letting her grieve in peace and understanding.

[RingOfFire]

Worst feeling in the world. I can handle pretty much anything else, you could hit me in the head with a baseball bat and I wouldn't cry. But if she's crying my world falls apart.

[Agape93]

Honestly, nothing 9/10, but I still know how to fake the reactions emotionally

[strateguy632]

i feel pity but suspect she might be trying to manipulate me

[electromagnetic]

I’ve actually never seen my partner cry. I don’t know how I’d feel.

[Anonymous]

Most women cry crocodile tears. I might have been swayed me when I was you age. But now I'm ambivalent if not annoyed that she thinks she can fool me so easily with fake tears.

[RedInnocent69]

Horny. I just want to care for and protect them, which leads to other things… You know, to cheer them up.

[KrakenAttackin]

Women cry to manipulate. If a man cries in front of his woman, he is a fool.

[thisAppIsGarbage]

Lo l. I don't feel anything. How they feel is on them. That's there problem

[sheikalana]

My partner never cried in front of me.

[exitseven]

I wonder what did I do this time.

[JonCobretti]

Sometimes it's a turn on

[impalabill77]

I feel depressed.
