In my years that i have been fortunate enough to share with the ladies of this world, i have learned that when a woman sheds tears, seems distant, or is silent, all you have to do is show concern, make sure she knows you care and dont ask questions, actions speak for themselves, just hold them close and for long periods of time and eventually it all comes out, it may take a few minutes or hours, be patient, in their own sweet time and if they really want you to know, they will tell you.
On one incident a long time ago, an ex of mine had a puss on for a long time and was silent and gave me the evil eye every chance she had, well i kept asking whats wrong, with no response and for hours this went on, finally i gave up and shut up, and an hour or so later it all came flowing out, so from experience, i learned to not say a word and let my actions speak for themselves.
