He cried during sex 🥺

My boyfriend and I have been having a rough time. We just started going together in October, and I left town for about a month in December for holiday and to focus on studying for the bar exam.

When I got back things were off between us. He confessed that he had started talking to another woman while I was away but that nothing happened between them. Within our off period he also forgot my birthday and despite my inquiring we didn’t do anything for Valentine’s Day, plus he sent me a dry v-day text. Long story short I broke up with him..a few times actually. But ultimately decided it would be best for my mental health if we stay together at least until after I sit for the bar and have time to fully process my feelings toward him.

Fast-forward to today, he surprised me and came over a few hours ago. We didn’t talk about anything heavy because I take the bar tomorrow and didn’t want to be stressed but we did talk a little bit. We ended up having sex and my 6’3, military/secret services man who brags about having grown up in the hood of West Baltimore cried during sex while reassuring me how much I mean to him and how he never wants to lose me. 🥺

He played it off of course. And when we were done he told me that the sex felt different like he was in his words “catching feelings.” And he almost seemed kind of ashamed of it. It’s really hard for him to be vulnerable because he’s been through so much trauma. I’m really happy to have shared this moment with him, even though I’m not sure what the future has in store for us, and even if I’m not where he’s at emotionally right now.

Has anyone else’s significant other cried during sex? How did you feel about it?
