Not everyone is a good person.

And my wife is exactly like you. But just sayin’, in my experience, most women are not.

And I get it! No woman craves a weak man. No woman says to herself, “I wish my man was a sobbing pile of goo!”

Women want a strong man, a man that protects her from the slings and arrows of life. We can be those men and still cry. But it ain’t easy.

This is absolutely the way to look at that level of intimacy IMO because that’s how I view it.

The day my dad died, nearly 23 years ago now, was also the day that I knew I’d ask my wife to marry me.

It was a long illness and he was relatively young. We were living together and I had just sucked it up for 18 painful months. Never cried once.

Anyway the day came and I got home and just cracked when we went to bed. I just sobbed in the bed with her. Like a real, deep, deep sobbing.

She just held me and rubbed my hair and I will never, ever forget that.

Anyway about 8 months later I asked her to marry me and we’re married over 20 years now and have a beautiful family together. I love her so much.
