What do you do when your partner starts cying?

I usually comfort my partner until she stop crying. I can't see people crying because my emotion will be sad too. I'll just like to be the cure for my partner.

Me, when my boyfriend starts to cry because of a heavy argument, I always get soft-hearted.. You know. The feeling that it's like you want to just forget all about it. I really hate seeing my boyfriend cry, it's killing me.. I love him and I don't want to hurt him. But to answer your question, I usually comfort him by eating me pride. I always hug him from the back telling him to stop crying.. And of course, by apologizing too. Pride is sometimes a bad thing so don't let it eat you up or your relationship with somebody might be ruined in just a blink.

It's happened one or twice that I've seen my fiance cry. It hasn't happened more than that, but when it did happen that I saw him cry, I comforted him, and try to make him feel better. I can't remember exactly what made him cry, and such, but I do remember seeing him cry, at least once, maybe twice, no more than that.

It depends on the situation. If we were having a conversation and he began to cry, I would comfort him, but if it was something else... well honestly, it all depends on the person. I feel him out first, give him a few minutes to himself then go and comfort him. I personally, as he knows, don't bother me, don't come near me. Let me be, doesn't matter on what the situation is. I just get into the don't bother me or be near me mood.

I was trying to think if I have ever seen my husband cry. It took me a minute to remember, but I have. It has never been because of me though. I have cried more times than I would like to admit to! Many times about something stupid! But that is the way women are, I guess! Regardless, I think that when a person is crying 'a respectful distance' is close to them. A person crying needs comfort. Letting them sit there by themselves and just cry isnt helping a situation. Especially, when that person crying is your partner! You are supposed to be there for them. To help them through good times and bad times. Even if you have been the cause of their tears, you should still try to comfort them.
