Married to me, cried plaintively (5)
I believe the answer is:
mewed
'cried plaintively' is the definition.
'mewed' can be an answer for 'cried' (mew means a cat's cry). I am not certain of the 'plaintively' bit.
'married to me' is the wordplay.
'married' becomes 'wed' (wed can mean married).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'wed' put after 'me' is 'MEWED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mewed that I've seen before include "Made cat noise" , "confined" , "cried pitifully" , "made catty remark" .)
