[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, you do seem kind of annoying so maybe he's a little fed up having to deal with you. [/quote] Wow. Gunning for the DCUM GlassBowl of the Week award? OP, my spouse doesn't deal with tears well, either. (We're both women, FYI.) She gets angry, because angry is how she expresses hurt, and seeing me cry hurts her. Which becomes her berating me, which doesn't help. We call it "spiraling" -- been together 30 years. We know it when we see it, but it's still hard. My tip -- don't take his reaction personally, if you can. Ask for what you need. "Honestly, I just need you to hold my hand and tell me we're in this together. I'm sad and I'm scared and when you pull away, I just feel alone." [/quote]
