One of the strangest most awkward things in a relationship is when you, as a man, have to decide what to do when your partner starts letting the tears gush out of her eye holes. Indeed, men find tears intimidating especially when they are expected to know how to deal with these salty trails of mystery. The best part here is women seem just as perturbed at their men’s confusion as men are confused by tears.

#1 – She’s Crying, Therefore There’s A Problem & Men Must Solve It

Say your lovely lady comes home in tears and stomps off into the bathroom presumably to shed even more tears. As a man, this will ruffle your many feathers and make you think someone has wronged your fair maiden (of course, you could also try hoping she didn’t see you and you can complain ignorance of the whole teary episode!).

But the problem is there may be no problem at all. She may just be crying as a way to deal with a really stressful day at work or, there might be a problem but all your chest thumping and door-banging will not be able to help anyway.
