I cried in front of my wife and since then there has been a strange atmosphere between us
I’m not really an emotional guy tbh, and in the 3 years we’ve been together my wife’s never seen me cry. But yeah these past few weeks were kinda rough and I just… broke down in front of her the other day.
I thought she’d be like supportive or at least understanding, you know? but instead she looked kinda… idk, put off? almost disgusted which honestly hit me hard.
We just went to bed after that and since then the vibe between us is weird. like really weird. I asked her about it and she said she didn’t expect a “traditional Christian man” to act like that. said she can’t unsee it now and looks at me differently.
She straight up said she feels less attracted to me after seeing me cry. also said women don’t actually wanna see their man cry even if they say they do. like that it’s just talk. she kept saying women want strong men.
I asked how I’m even supposed to fix this and she basically had no answer.
so yeah… kinda stuck here. how do I even come back from this? or like prove I’m still “masculine” in her eyes? not sure what to do tbh 😕
