Just curious. :) Y'all go first.

Mine is very compassionate unless I am crying about him  or a fight with him or in the midst of an argument in which case he is bewildered and on the verge of pissed.

Mine keeps saying he is sorry and then tries to analyze the situation and starts talking nonstop to the point where my sadness turns to anger because I want him to just be quiet for a minute.....hahaha....he is so analytical....Virgo Sun, Moon in Gemini.....but he gets me to stop crying....

If it is about him....he does the exact same thing....hahaa..... 

((Clears throat))

My FRIEND well he's a Gemini, When I cry (hard for Scorpio Moon not to) I feel he plays the sympathy card instead of putting it in his pocket. Which is a nice try, and I know that gemini's by default are superficial. But His North Node is in Pisces so hes supposed to be learning empathy and compassion more. Thats possibly why we are good for each other. He looked up the words empathy and sympathy that day online and was saying he needs no improvement.

So later that day he goes to some house party and a woman asked him how he felt about the state of the country. And of course he plays it safe and says he has no opinion, or oddly enough sometimes he really has none. The woman validated what I said and got mad at him telling him he needs to have more empathy and compassion for others because it brings awareness of issues others face. He said she was really pissed and put off by his demeanor, lol. He wants to develop it more now he says, Im happy he will.

Compassion
He's Cancer sun with Aries moon.
Compassion but he moves on to the next thing.
Nurturance is just a reflex for cancer, automatic

My ex used would generally ignore it. Capricorn Sun/Scorpio Moon/Gemini ASC. Probably hoped it would go away...(sigh)

I'm seeing this new guy (taking it slow) and he's ready seen me cry once. He immediately started petting me. Leo Sun/Scorpio Moon/Scorpio ASC. The attention after years with my ex is unnerving, but I think I prefer it as I'm affectionate.

he listens and waits until the jumble that comes out of my mouth at such times starts making sense. (sometimes this takes a while.) then we talk.

he's sun/moon virgo, venus in cancer.

added- if it's a fight with him which is rare - thank god - i hate fighting! - he emotionally disconnects.

My SO and I have been friends much longer than we've been lovers. Even then, he would show affection in some way or another. As a friend, he would just listen. Once, he held me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. To this day, I don't think he's done that for other girls and I know he would not (he has a lot of female friends). As my SO, he knew that the way to deal with me when I cry is to just hold me. And that's what he does.

His placements: Scorpio Sun/Leo Moon/Taurus Asc. Venus in Libra. 

Kashmiri....I am so happy to read that you are going out with someone new!!!  Affectionate nature is wonderful, I bet!

Kash =)

My hubby is very comforting and affectionate when I cry.  Even when we argue and I'm in the wrong....he'll eventually come comfort me if I'm crying.  I'm so spoiled =/

He has sun and Venus in Aquarius (doesn't like to see anyone suffer) and moon and Asc in Cancer (a very motherly man, if that makes sense).

hooray for being spoiled! :)

He usually squeezes me and comforts me but one time he told me that I sounded like Chris Farley, which was funny cause I did ("I live in a van down by the river" style Chris Farley.)  Hes a Sagittarius, he couldn't help it, his face was about to explode from holding back the laughter.

Ha Moonpluto.. mine is Cancer Moon Aries Sun! Big warm hugs then a cuppa tea, unless we're arguing, (thankfully not a frequent occurrence) in which case tears make him switch off. Uranus rising in Cancer.

Aquarius sun, Aries moon, Cap rising does not think tears are interesting, practical or productive.  He doesn't tolerate blue moods over nothing, though he can be deeply compassionate if the situation truly calls for it and I am grieving over something real.  This might sound as though he is uncaring but truly he is the best ever for me, as in the past I would tend to sink too far into a funk.  He snaps me out of it like magic. 

My old boyfriend from college was eternally fascinated/bewildered by my Scorpio moon moods/tears. He was even more perplexed that I can't seem to communicate when I'm in a heavily emotional state. I don't remember him being particularly nurturing... just kind of staring at me in awe... I think he was a double Libra but I was never sure b/c I didn't know his birth time.

The guy I inadvertently dated because we lived in the same house (not the other way around) was a big sap/crybaby. Moon in Cancer, he had some Daddy issues and was always blubbering about this or that. He also had some addiction problems that I learned of slowly. Most of the time, he was crying, and then I'd join in.

My recent ex is Gem/Capricorn and generally shows no emotion. However, his kindly goatness meant he was always very gentlemanly with me, so while he never understood my turmoil, he always was kind of just there standing by, slightly puzzled but "okay with whatever."

My latest dude is the Taurus with Cancer moon and he reacts to my weeping in all sorts of interesting ways. Once while we were driving and having a "misunderstanding" I started crying in the middle of trying to speak. This upset him so he pulled over and joined in. More recently, I was crying during a private moment and he patted me gently, but then later he had to go and ruin it with some sort of sarcastic remark about my weeping.

In general though, I agree with y'all. They're less likely to show sympathy if their own ego is involved.

My husband takes it very seriously if I cry. It makes him feel bad. Sun/Jupiter/Venus in Scorpio, Gemini Moon opposite Neptune. He has a tender heart.

He has made me cry, but never when he was around. It has always been my runaway imagination that caused me pain. We have never even had a fight in three years together.

When I have cried in front of him, he has a big warm hug ready. When my brother had a stroke, when I totaled my car, when I lost my job; he was htere to comfort and listen. He is Cancer Sun, Cancer Venus, Sag Moon; always very affectionate. 

Best of all is someone who empathizes with my mood but isn't scared or put off by it, sees it as a mood that will pass and all will be well. Empathy + detatchment.

Amen, MP.  I'd love to find me one another one of those, too many people freak out about my moods.

My ex would usually sit there, silent, with tears sliding down his own face.  Even in the heights of his own emotion, if I started tearing up you could see him start to crumple.  There were a few times he would hold me and we would cry together, and usually that was marvelously comforting; most of the time, though, I don't want to be physically near anyone when I cry -- I want to be as far away from humanity as possible and wail and stomp and gnash to my heart's content.  (In general, about three minutes.  Any longer and it just becomes embarrassing.)  He was Libra sun, Virgo moon, Scorp rising with Venus/Mars/Uranus conjunct ASC from the 12th.

My new guy bugs the shit out of me trying to figure out why.  Why, why, why, why, whyyyyy?  Just shut up and don't touch me (unless I crawl to you first), and let me bawl!  Whys are for later, dammit.  *huffs*  Scorp sun, rising, Merc, Neptune AND Venus; Pisces moon.  *laughs*

I know what you mean about the "why." Lots of times, my emotions have no relation to the situation on the ground. Unless it's picked up off other people or something. It just IS, and I have to let it flow through and out. There is no why!

Boohoo, no SO at the moment, but scrolling back...

a Leo used to laugh me out of it

a Libra used to get angry about it  (poor man, I tipped his balance)

a Capricorn was consoling, comforting

a Pisces cried with me

a Gemini was suprisingly sensitive and often tried chocolate

and of course, a Scorp had an excellent cure....until he was the one who left me  & crying

that's half the zodiac so i'll stop for now

Like everything else, he tries to fix it.  My husband has lots of Capricorn (mars, mercury, saturn, and birthday is cap/aqua cusp.  As a matter of fact one ephemeris has him as Capricorn, another as Aquarius.

Weird, this post has made me realize that my SO has been crying more than me lately, and it's gotten me thinking how I comfort him instead...he has seemed open and perfectly fine with crying in front of me, though I don't give too much affection when he does. I've only held him once during the last few times he's broken down. But I do reassure him and comfort him through words and touch. (he's got a cancer moon/jupiter, his emotions are big!)

When I cry, it's usually at things like movies/tv show/commercial, so no affection there--we just laugh afterwards. If it's a serious cry, he's attentive, but he won't give much affection unless I go in for it first.  

My man with Aquarius sun in the 4th, Aries Moon, Libra rising only made me cry once and he was crying too. When I've cried about other things, he gets flummoxed -- but he's very supportive and always good for a hug (not necessarily at other non-crying times, though).

I've gotta say I've only seen one other man cry, my first high school boyfriend and that was because I was leaving after visiting him at college. Seeing my current boyfriend cry -- and I've seen him do it more than once -- was almost like watching a cat walk on its hind legs (not that my Pisces moon isn't compassionate and Venus/Mercury in Virgo doesn't want to help -- I do) and I felt strangely privileged and quite close to him.

I don't think I could deal with someone who was cold to my tears.
