MEN: When your wife or girlfriend cries and it is just you two alone, how do you feel? Helpless? Sad? Upset? Frustrated? Do you try to console them or do you leave them alone to "work it out" themselves?

Well in a way it upsets me, but at the same time it confuses me. I want to talk to her and find out what the problem is. Most of the times she says "nothing" But I feel I need to persist to a certain point to get her to open up. But if I seem to be making her more upset, I'll leave her alone to work it out on her own. Sometime everyone just needs time. Every woman needs a room of her own

I feel badly and try to help as well as I can, even if it is just to be there for moral support. It depends on why they are crying. If it is due to something I did or said, I feel badly and often guilty, and unless they tell me to leave I try to make things right and talk it over with them when they are wanting to talk. It is very uncomfortable for me to hear a woman cry. I think this is true for most guys.

Can't stand it. Men like to fix things. It's frustrating to not to be able to just get a wrench out, turn a nut and voila...it's fixed. I do what I think she wants me to do. Talk. Seems that's what she wants the rest of the time. If only they'd invent a talking wrench.......

I leave her ALONE. Alot less broken glassess that way

I tell my wife about a certain short scuba diver I know of and that gets her laughing. Problem solved.

I tend to get rather sad and upset myself. I usually try to help, or at least find out if there's anything wrong that I *Could* help with, if there's not, then just tell her I love her and give her a little time to start feeling better.

I feel sad because she is hurt, but glad because I have an opportunity to help her and ease her burden. I try to solve the problem, and if it doesn't have a solution I help her to cope with it and move on, I know sometimes it is a process, but I am always there for her, no matter if it's midnight, I am working or I am on a tour. I am always there for her to listen if she needs to talk, to wipe her tears if she needs somebody to cry to...
