For Married Women: Have you ever seen your husband cry for somthing other than death of a loved one?

Question

I ask this because 2 of my married friends had a huge argument because one told the other that her marriag wasnt "real" until she's seen her husband cry besides at a funeral or something. I think she was just playing around with my other friend, but she got offended and it sparked an ugly argument.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Yes, I've seen my husband cry for something other than a death. We've had some arguments where he has cried. I don't think it's fair to say a marriage is "real" until a husband has cried at something other than a funeral because men express their feelings differently than women do. Things that women might cry about, some men might express through anger, frustration, etc. Some men are more comfortable with crying than others are...but it's not fair to say a marriage isn't real if the husband doesn't cry.

Answer 2

particular, fairly some situations. no person, guy or lady, who has a coronary heart, won't be in a position to fail to be moved at situations.no be counted if it incredibly is because of loss of a love one, or some very shifting scene fictional or in any different case. One might must be heartless. to no longer shed a tear or 2, or a minimum of, misty eyed. And leaving somebody you adore, even for a short holiday, could make a guy, misty eyed a minimum of. As in each little thing, some men, will cry better than others, yet i'm valuable it incredibly is a similar with women human beings. some absolutely everyone seems to be in simple terms greater emotional than others.

Answer 3

Well first off your friend's need to talk to each other about weather this was a real thought or just teasing. Either way marriage is real in the sight of God and all those witnesses when you say I do - has nothing to do with crying/emotions.

Secondly, to answer your question, YES. He has cried several times, tears up at certain movies, when he received his Bronze Star, etc.

Answer 4

My husband has cried on numerous occasions....the birth of our son, when he went into the Army, a great movie, a moving stage play, memories of Vietnam......he lets his emotions show. Other people, and men are high on this list, work very hard to contain their emotions, as they feel it is a sign of weakness. Some people have been "trained" not to cry when a child. My hubbie and I are both actors, so we are very emotional by nature, though.

As far as this being the test of a "true marriage", I don't know about that. I thought that the true test was love, understanding, trust, loyalty......I can think of soooo many virtues that would define a marriage...but tears aren't one of them.

Answer 5

Yes, I have seen my hubby cry. He has emotions just like I do. But I'm the one who normally holds back the tears and expresses them another way.

But as far as the friend saying that her marriage isn't real until she's seen her husband cry? What garbage, c'mon, she's probably torturing him to over it. She has to be playing.

Answer 6

Different people deal with life in different ways. Some men never cry, some women never cry, does this mean they aren't upset, NO!! Marriage is real as soon as you say I do until the day you die. In my opinion your friend is being very judgemental.

Answer 7

I'm not married, but i can tell you, that a husband shouldn't be ashamed to cry with his wife, for they are each others rock. i see it in my parents, when things get hard, in life or work, i know that my father cried once with my mom out of despair.

Answer 8

Yes, I have seen him cry a few times. He is human.

Answer 9

Yes, and I never was one to buy into the strong silent man. And I didn't think less of him, either. It made him human.

Answer 10

I think your friend is f * cked in the head. The only time I've seen my husband cry was when his father died.
