Quote: I thought about that, however, my H is so defensive at times that I feared he might be offended in some way or that merely saying "thank you" would make me seem pitiful. It's hard to judge right now. A quiet thank you would have been a good move. He would know next time hugs work. You silence leaves him wonderings what he can do. Most guys have no clue when the woman starts crying. Most time it just paralyzes us. We think if I hug her and she pushes me away I will just make it worse.
