For me the I love the sound.  I also love the uncontrolled spasm and dasp ang sob bit it's more the sound of it than the feeling itself. I prefer male but I enjoy female as well.  It's almost musical to me. It's so raw.   It's a huge token on to hear. 

This link led me too a whole flood of popup ads and I didn't get to see the actual video. 

Gah!! That's amazing! ! I wanna see that movie now! 

It's actually been kind of dead here.

Welcome.  For many of us, as I suspect is the case with you're partner,  tears and crying is beautiful in an a esthetic sense.  The sight and the sound and the feeling.  The way the sound of a sad song or sought of a heartbreaking movie might be stunning.  Look at the success of les miserables on stage.  A show filed with heartbreaking music and a devastating story and yet people are attracted to it like nothing else.  There is beauty in sadness and for dacryphiliacs we see beauty in the actual crying. For some,  To the extent that it is arousing.

The sight of you crying might well make you look beautiful to him.  Draw him to you.  And that is a turn on.  At least that's my interpretation.
