AITA for being upset that my husband didn't cry when I walked down the aisle?

My husband didn’t cry and absolutely worships me. Don’t worry about it

Oh boy. Did he at least have a smile on his face. I’m sure he did. Be happy. Don’t be so nitpicky. Wrong way to start off marriage

You’ve only been married a say and are already comparing yourself to his ex. Going to be long stressful marriage if you keep doing that.

His first marriage didn’t work out, so what’s it matter if he cried? Lol
He chose you and chose to make a commitment to you despite the fact that he’s already been at the alter and it didn’t work out. Don’t compare marriages. You’ll be miserable your whole life.

Acknowledge your feelings to yourself and move on from being stuck in these thoughts. Thoughts aren’t always accurate. There’s something unhealed in you and this situation triggered certain feelings. It would be good to explore in therapy why that’s the case. Going to therapy should be as normal as going to the doctors for annual check ups (wellness checks) except therapy tube-ups need to be a lot more frequent than once a year. We all have crap we need to process from childhood or adulthood’s traumas, difficult circumstances etc.Most of us have lies in our minds that we believe about ourselves because of the ways we grew up etc. Don’t put this on your hubby, probably the deep seated cause of it has nothing to do with him anyways. Congratulations on your marriage.

Yes you are. Stop comparing your wedding to the ex’s wedding, why y would you want it to be the same reaction. He was able to take it all in without crying: that’s amazing.
Enjoy your honeymoon, he’s with you not her.

Mine didn’t cry at all but he never ever does. Not even when we had our children so I wasn’t surprised. Maybe your husband was less nervous and more relaxed and happy.

My husband didn’t cry on our wedding day or our vow renewal we’ve been together 13 years and married 12 as of January 2023. He did smile both times. I wouldn’t have noticed if he cried the first time because I was too busy concentrating on walking and not tripping…I’m VERY VERY clumsy :rofl::rofl::rofl:

You need to get rid of your intrusive thoughts. Life’s much happier that way.

Literally the exact thing happened to me and I was honestly a little hurt/disappointed. I wanted him to be equally overwhelmed with emotion for me, too. It was more about changes with age. He knew exactly what he was getting into. He was smiling. He was happy and level headed. It was just a different feeling, but not “less than” what he felt the first time. Don’t be too hard on him or yourself.

He probably cried when the ex wife walked down the aisle because he had doubts. My husband didn’t cry when I walked down the aisle and we’ve been married 36 years! You are looking for trouble because of your insecurities. Let it go

I swear these women spend too much time online or just get married for social media If you wanted him to cry then you should have made sure you got the guy who would cry.

Girl, you do not want the same marriage he had with her or you will end up his ex as well. Please stop comparing your relationship to his ex. It will ruin your life. He CHOSE and is with YOU!! That is all the matters. He obviously loves you or he wouldnt have chosen to get married again. Getting married a 2nd time after knowing how difficult it is when a marriage fails is a big deal. Lots of people choose to never do it again. BUT he chose to marry you anyway. Let that sink in and go give your man a huge hug and kiss and tell him how much you love him. Stop letting his past interfere with your future. :heart:

Us women are so difficult with the shit we put in our heads … Im not bashing im understanding this to …

Yea your def the asshole,just cuz he didn’t cry doesn’t mean he didn’t care…

I can see why you would have those feelings. Some people may judge you for that, but it would be easy to make that comparison. I think it’s all in the way you take it. Maybe he was scared to death to marry his first wife, maybe he was so confident in what he has with you sit there were no nerves and he just felt that it fit. Everybody shows grief and excitement in different ways at different times. I have a look at the positive side and then let it go. Because he cried at one and not the other doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you. It’s just your perception. I encourage you to let it go and MoveOn and know your husband was so confident in what he has with you that there was no reason to cry or worry or wonder because he knew you were the one. My husband never cried when I walk down the aisle, but it was I and his first wedding. I didn’t have anything to compare it to. So in a nutshell you are comparing the ex-wife’s relationship with him and yours all because he didn’t cry. If you say it like that it seems kind of silly doesn’t it? He has moved on he is with you take comfort in that, he chose you.:heart::blush:

You had an unrealistic expectation. Not all men will cry. You’ve talked to him but obviously you don’t believe him. Why not?
If this a point of contention, I advise an annulment. He shouldn’t have to jump thru hoops when he married you.

Well I’m sure your friends know it now. Not all men cry at their weddings. Actually most don’t. Sometimes it’s just nerves that make them cry. Just drop it or you’ll be fighting over nothing

Not every husband cries when they see their bride coming down the aisle
This response in no way measures how they feel about their wife. Very self centred to make this all about you and showing much insecurity and immaturity to compare to anyone else’s marriage, including his first.
Very superficial in my opinion
You love him, he loves you, you are married. Don’t cause friction or resentment between you for nothing.
If needed find someone qualified to talk to. Congratulations on your life together

Nerves and stress can be part of this…just depends on how it hits people at different times…not all men enjoy showing emotion in front of everyone. Maybe he felt like it, but was able to hold it in…my husband didn’t cry, but I felt like it but I didn’t…doesn’t mean anything. Just your own emotions at the time.

They’re not together anymore right? Why does it matter if he cried during his first wedding? My husband didny cry and I don’t know any man who has cried getting married. I never even thought of this lol

Not sure it’s a great sign that your wedding was literally yesterday and you are sulking and already giving him a hard time :grimacing: You are obviously allowed to feel however you feel… But it’s kind of a great way to put a damper on things.

You need to give yourself and him a break. You’re entitled to your feelings, but you’re not being fair to him. He is not the same person he was when he got married the first time. Hopefully he has grown significantly as a person. He knows what marriage is now, whereas he didn’t know really what to expect the first time. You need to apologize to him and find the peace within yourself. Jealousy is not a pretty color on anyone.
Ps congratulations

So hear me out maybe he was embarrassed the first time he was married and cried over someone that I didn’t work out with. What if it’s like some sort of internal fear to be that vulnerable again. The fact that he was even willing to get remarried again shows that you were worth marrying in his eyes which is a big deal.

Idk about ahole but def dont compare marriages or people,that can lead to failure

Why compare his reaction between her and you? Why even go down that road? As someone who’s been married for a long time… I can’t imagine a 2nd wedding or 3rd, etc being nearly as emotional as the first experience. Nothing to do with the person but just kind of a he’s already had this experience and it’s not gonna hit the same. Remember he is committed to you and that’s all that matters… not if he cried or not lol

We are divorced now lol

Don’t make a big deal out of it. A lot of husbands who cry when their wife is coming down the isle are also the same husbands who cheat/leave. It truly doesn’t matter.

You’ve already been comparing yourself to his ex wife. If she weren’t in your mind, you wouldn’t think twice about it.

My husband didn’t cry when I walked down the aisle either. My husband’s also not the emotional kind of person. I’ve only seen him cry a few times in the 14yrs we’ve been together. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.

Maybe he cried bc he had doubts with her or subconsciously knew she wasnt the one.

My husband got teary eyed but didn’t full on cry. I think that most women want there future husband to cry or tear up but it doesn’t always happen. I am my husbands second wife and he didn’t do that with his first wife. You can’t spend your life comparing yourself to others no matter what. It’s not a life worth living when you try comparing yourself to other people. Trust me I know. Sometimes my husband compares me to his ex and it pisses me off because I know I am nothing like her. After being married for 9 years now he doesn’t do it anymore.

When I got married my now ex wife looked stunning but I didn’t cry. It doesn’t mean he didn’t think you looked amazing I think your reading to much into it and he is probably feeling frustrated because your grilling him over something he can’t control

I mean in my opinion you’re living in somebody else’s past if you’re upset over him not crying like he did with his first wife. Circumstances are different maybe it’s because he was younger and more emotional maybe he just didn’t wanna cry . I kind of feel sorry for your husband & this marriage if you’re already whining about something so simple.

All of the people negatively commenting on this saying she is crazy is disheartening. Retroactive jealousy, not saying that is what she is experiencing, but, it is real. People with anxiety…ocd… adhd… our brains go a million miles a minute. We think of every single outcome good bad and otherwise we think of people’s body language, tone of voice, the thoughts never stop. This girl is wanting to know her feelings aren’t “crazy” to help ease her. She is not crazy, immature…nothing like that

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read in my life… No offense but if he bawled like a baby with his first wife you see how that turned out?!?!… I don’t think it has anything to do with you personally but just the fact that you’re upset that he didn’t cry Sends up a red flag for me and you’re already pissed off at the man on your wedding day because of that? And then you confronted him about it? Ma’am you better get it together or you won’t be married long I promise you that… This is your wedding day and that’s what the hell you’re thinking about and then you get upset with him about it and say something to him about it? If it were me I would’ve left your ass right there and ran out the church… Expecting that man to cry… Are you crazy? Check yourself… You’re showing your insecurity. It’s the audacity for me SMDH… And you should be upset with yourself not him… Damn shame… No offense but you sound like a entitled …__________ fill in the blank with whatever word you so choose. And this is your whole wedding day… You ruined it for yourself 100% none of this is his doing at all… People fail to remember expectations lead to disappointment lol… And I’m sorry in advance ma’am but it serves you right

He cried for the first knowing it was a big mistake. He didn’t cry for you because he KNOWS your the one and only forever and ever. :woman_shrugging:

It seems like you’re comparing both of his marriages and you want the same reaction he gave his ex wife. Wouldn’t you want a new version of him a version she didn’t have? Granted it can seem like he doesn’t care that much or whatever but he married you he no longer is with his ex wife. And he may not be as emotionally vulnerable as he once was. In my opinion yes you are the asshole for overthinking it. Don’t ruin a new marriage because you have insecurities towards his ex wife and his previous marriage. That was before you.

My husband and I both cried and it was both of ours second marriage. Everyone is different. You’re not crazy tho.
