[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ime it helps to just empathize --[b] "I know this is really hard for you," "I'm so sorry," etc -[/b]- rather than trying to make him feel better. Give him space to feel bad and make sure you don't come across like he has to buck up for your sake. Like, yeah, he has to buck up at some point but it sounds like this is still very fresh.[/quote]

DH here. [b]I wouldn't want that. I actually wouldn't want anything from DW. Just let me be until I can digest and get it out of my system.[/b] How to deal with these things are very person specific. Without knowing your DH, no one can really tell you the best way. [/quote]

+1 another DH here.  I imagine this would be the same regardless of gender but as a man, this is like a hit below the belt b/c I feel like I've let down my DW/family and I would need time to process and deal with this on my own.  sure, intimacy helps but I wouldn't need DW to "comfort" me in the sense of providing empathy or soothing words - that would make me feel even worse.[/quote]
