Crap. Well, we just had a cry-fest, holding on to each other. I guess we're a strange couple.
No, not strange at all, Bill. It's perfectly understandable, considering the emotional stress and confusion you've both been under.
OK, end of kinder-softer-gentler Puppy part.
That all being said, and even though I think it may actually be a GOOD idea to show your raw emotions like this ONCE, I would strongly encourage you to do whatever it takes to not do it again. Get on ADs if you have to, and if you haven't already done so, come on here to vent, go into the bathroom at 2 in the morning, put the exhaust fan on, bury your face in the bathroom towel and sob your guts out (yeah, I did that) . . . but you need to put your game face on from here on out in front of your wife.
No, you don't have to act like everything's PERFECT, but you do need to convey a sense of "I'll be just fine. Not what I would have wanted, and this isn't what I want, but I'll be fine." The crying, "needy/grabby" thing will come off as unattractive to your wife, and since you're still fighting for your marriage you'll want to avoid that.
