a couple of things could be going on here- she may feel insecure and really just need your assurance or compliments- this is NOT nessasarily a bad thing- humans have egos that need to be comforted and stroked- you have it too- what person doesn't want to feel support and admiration from thier partner? GIVE HER THAT KINDNESS AND LOVE- or she'll find it else where and find you selfish-
you feel unable to say the right thing- you may be sensitive to saying the worng thing or you may be saying the wrong thing to make her stop asking you for this- it sounds like the second- if so grow up and learn to deal with uncomfortable situations with love an kidness- especially with your wife-
***if you focus on making her feel good about herself BEFORE she asks the questions you'll find the questions will stop...*** |

FAMOUS WORDS PAY ATTENTION: IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAY IT'S HOW YOU SAY IT IF YOU LEARN THIS YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WIFE HAPPY ALSO WHAT A MAN CONSTRUES AS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM A WOMAN WILL TAKE AS BEING PICKED ON |

If you have the slightest hunch that it might upset her, don’t say it- save her any hard feelings instead. Sometimes being honest doesn’t always work out in people’s favor. In you and your wife’s case, white lies are appropriate and possibly necessary. This is your wife, its your duty to do whatever it is you can to make her feel her best and at ease with the situation at hand. I understand you don’t mean any harm, but just try to think before you speak next time. Her tears and feelings are real so try to lift her spirits instead. Good Luck. |

If she says 'am I fat?'- answer it with a question= do you think you fat? if she says Yes then say you love her but you understand that she isnt happy with herself then you can both do some exercises to tone up etc or something along those lines of comments being made, thats how my husband goes about it.
But women can't be as blunt as men- your mates can say your a ugly git and you all laugh it off etc but women can laugh but then for the next few days they will think about it, so be careful and think before you speak, simple rule. |

u console her and don't argue with anything she says because that will make more trouble for u. the only reason i think of why she's crying is she pregnant because women who are pregnant have nervous breakdowns almost every day |

Oh sweetheart, if she is crying its because you are saying what she doesnt want to hear.
For example if she asks if shes fat, dont say she could stand to lose a few pounds, tell her no she is beautiful.
Sugar coat your words, you dont have to exactly answer the question as long as it makes her feel good. |

Don't be too honest -:) sometimes honesty isn't the best policy and specially when it comes to making comments to your wife who's sensitive and i hope you love her so don't break her heart but try to talk to her and stop acting like a "little crying Princess" and try to be just a "princess " the happy one ! |

I went through a period like this with my husband. I would be willing to bet she's feeling neglected. It may not be anything you've done intentionally. But women tend to be overemotional, and men tend to pull back when they do. Not a good combination. How do you react when she cries? Give her lots of hugs and take the time to listen to exactly what is wrong (you may have to piece it together - we tend to ramble when we cry). Let her know that you love her. Make time to spend with JUST her. Most importantly, when you're talking about this, make sure she gets your full attention. No tv, no computer, no other people. Maybe she just needs to vent and she'll feel better. Good luck! |

When we ask for the truth, it's really a trap. Don't fall for it. We have a low tolerance for the truth because truth hurts. Always sugar coat it. Just like when we ask if these pants make us look fat... what we really want to hear is "Oh no honey, you look great!" regardless what the truth is. |

Sometimes you have to do some white lies. For instance, if she asks if she looks fat in something, you say no. God's not going to punish you, you're just punishing yourself by telling the truth. |

Try softening the blow a bit.
her "Honey do I look fat in this?"
you "No dear, but I think this dress is more flattering"
her "was dinner good?"
you "Yeah, but I liked your casserole better!"
It could also be an underlying issue that is bugging her. Talk to her a bit, ask her if she is upset about anything. |

Maybe you have to reword. Or monitor what and how you say things. |

Honesty is good just have a little bit more tact... |

Either she has PMS, menopause or you are being a lot more mean then you think. Ask her and she'll tell you why she is crying! Maybe she's over sensitive if she has ALWAYS been that way with you. |

Get a few good pairs of earplugs and a drawer full of hankies.
Since she knows what to expect by now when she asks for your honest opinion, then she is greatly responsible for her own unhappiness. She should know not to ask.
Isn't it amazing how women say they want honesty from men in a relationship, but so many of these women responding want you to lie to your wife? |

Sounds overly emotional. Maybe she has depression. Have you sent her for some counselling? |

I've learned that YOU SHOULDN'T ASK QUESTIONS IF IT'S GOING TO HURT. Sometimes she needs to bit her tongue. She shouldn't be asking if it's little stuff. Just let her cry. she's too emotional. |

well there is a thing called being nice and just being plain rude i dont know but if you think your being nice and shes crying its because something is just not right what your saying |

There's honesty and their is bluntness that doesn't consider the other person's feelings.
Talk to her, ask her why she asks the kinds of questions that she does. |

Wow, is she pregnant too? (lol)
You should be more sensitve to her needs. Just b/c something means nothing to you doesn't mean it means nothing to her. |
