Hmmm, this is interesting. While MrHP doesn't like it when I cry, it doesn't bother him to the extent that is being described here. He sorta sees it as my problem, which of course it is. If I was crying because something happened to one of our children, he would comfort me and want my hurt to go away, but if it concerned our relationship I'm not sure that he would even stop what he was doing.
And yes, Lil, I know this is not in character with his people-pleasing personality (or more accurately, wife-pleasing) but what can I say. He is not moved by my tears, and sometimes it even seems to piss him off, as if he thinks I am doing it to manipulate him. Which I would NEVER do. I hate crying and avoid it like the plague. IF I were going to manipulate him, I would choose a method which does not leave me feeling like crud afterwards.
