Have you ever made your wife cry?

[Anonymous]

I’ve heard men saying the worse thing they can do is to cause their wife to cry because of them. Apparently, it’s heartbreaking for men.

Just curious to hear from the men here, if they’ve ever made their poor wives cry? Did it break your heart seeing her cry because of you? How did you make things better afterwards?

Has anyone actually gotten to marriage without ever having cried in a fight? I won't do the old, 'i'm a woman but I'll speak for DH' thing. But we are a low conflict couple and both of us have shed tears about our relationship over the course of the deacade we have been together.

If you have never made your wife cry, she probably has a mental disability.

Made her cry? Like, intentionally? If she cries, that's on her.

When we had discussions of libido imbalance (me wanting, her not) it often resulted in tears, she isn't good enough, I should find someone else.

Crying shuts it down, not sure if that was her intention so I don't raise it anymore.

Well, I'm the DW so I can only tell you from my perspective. DH has only made me cry pre-marriage, when we were drunk college kids behind dramatic about something not very significant. Does that count? It's been about 15 years since then and I don't think he's made me cry since.

I'm a DW that cries when I get mad. Sometimes it just happens. He isn't being particularly mean or anything, I just cry when I get frustrated.

Interesting question... I don't think so but I am not 100% sure. We've been together for so long (40 years), I am sure there were times she wanted to kill me. But I don't recall seeing her cry. I will ask and report back.

It's worst! Why am I seeing this everywhere now? Is it an auto correct thing?

It would be if DW ever cries because of me.

Yes, he made me cry. We were both dealing with a stillbirth. I was grieving and had serious hormonal stuff on top of all that. He was dealing with it by trying to not grieve and use logic to make me feel better. There were tears, lots of tears because of the horrible logical unfeeling things he was saying.

I’m so sorry for this painful experience that you’ve had to endure.

Sometimes difficult discussions need to be had. I'm not going to shy away from addressing a tough issue because it might provoke tears.

Thank you. We made it through the worst of it--stronger. But I can see how it can break couples up. But the long lasting effects...the pain of losing a child never goes away...
