Huh. I guess it's the oxytocin, eh?
I don't tell SO why I get teary. I don't want him to feel that I'm beating him up with the past. I know there's nothing I could say to him that he hasn't already said to himself. When he sees me that way at that particular time, he asks me if I'm alright and makes sure he hasn't hurt me physically in some way (which of course he hasn't...our love life is FANTASTIC!). Sometimes we cuddle and the tears go away, and sometimes I get up and shake it off, Martian-like, I suppose.
I'm hoping that he's finding the activity very healing too. He needs to do a lot of healing from all of this as well, and I try to contribute to that as much as possible, or at least be sensitive to it.
Thanks for the thoughts, Gabe. It certainly gives me something to consider. Unfortunately, he's on his daddy rotation, so there won't be a lot of "bonding" going on over the next 2 weeks.
