Thanks junglepimp this is what I was looking for...

Now if you really did fuck up, please do assume your responsibility. In an LTR, being a rational, responsible & genuine man is Alpha. Especially when she's weak.
Of course physical comforting, listening (and not giving advice unless absolutely necessary) will do you good.
If/when I do really fuck up I will own it. But now I have this little voice in my head that pops up time to time and says "Remain Alpha!" In this case that would be rational, responsible & genuine.
When she is crying for some reason not involving me the physical comforting and listening without giving advice seems spot on. Usually when women tell us their problems they just want us to listen to them and know we are there for them.
It used to be when a woman would tell me about her problems, my first instinct would be to quickly reply with the obvious solution to FIX her problem. I have learned the hard way, that is not what women want. When we, as men, just listen to them and support them they are much more appreciative. We all know how great an appreciative woman can be in the bedroom once all that BS crying is done.
