I cant talk to anyone about it, so i had to tell you guys. Sometimes this "need" is so strong that i can hardly concentrate on anything else. Oh yeah... tomorrow we're all going to a little day trip together... That should be interesting 🤔

Hope you get what you need, Kleo. And I know what you mean. I too get that feeling of "I'm parched, water me with your tears."

It affects me in both a good and a "bad" way, a good way because it feels good being comforted by someone, and it's reassuring, warm and relieving, like you can allow yourself to share your thoughts, and I see crying as a very intimate thing. But it also makes me feel a little bad because the person comforting me always ends up crying too, and I think it's both reassuring to have someone to cry with but it's also a little "hard", because I know this person wouldn't be crying if I wasn't, I don't know if it makes sense

That's interesting. Particularly since I rarely cry from seeing someone else cry. It's only happened once recently that I can think of.

I'm actually pregnant with my first right now, but I think it's healthy for your children to see you cry. I hope to teach our son that tears are a natural reaction to a variety of emotions, and that there's no shame and no reason to hide them. This is true in any situation, but especially after a very upsetting event - I think that while (young) kids shouldn't be responsible for comforting/caring for their parents, NOT seeing your parent cry after a death, for example, can lead them to think they should repress their emotions and not let them out, even around family. My dad's father died when my dad was just a kid, and he never saw his mother cry, not once. He grew up pretty uncomfortable with emotional expression (his own and others'). He's gotten a little more comfortable as he's aged, interestingly.

Anyway, I always felt slightly uncomfortable seeing my mother cry (or my dad, the couple of times I did), but I think this was partly because of my fetish.

Let me say congratulations to you, and I'm glad you'll be raising your son in such a way. I wish more people were understanding about men's emotional vulnerabilities.

Of course, I must ask, has your pregnancy had any effect on your crying/crying proclivities? If so, I'd love to hear.

I used to get angry tears on occasion when I was in a real rage. Not so much anymore. Probably a good call on your part, though.

Very nice. I love crying athletes.
