Wow, great boyfriend obs -- I can't imagine anything more special than full out crying and hugging in bed with someone you love.  Sorry you're so stressed, though.

I hope your ok carrotcake? Wonderful observations about you and your boyfriend, I loved reading them all the observations. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome observations. I'm sorry you feel so stressed, and I hope you get to do some more comforting soon, since it's such a treat for you. And of course, I hope your boyfriend benefits from letting it all out.

I too, have a question about "huge amount of tears" since that's really my thing . Did you really get to see the tears? It sounds like, since it was at night and he was crying into your chest for a lot of the time, that you wouldn't really get to see them. Could you just tell it was a lot because the pillow/your shirt/whatever was getting really wet?

Oh, and I'll just add in my little observations here since they don't really merit a thread of their own. I'm in Berlin now, and as some of our European members may be aware, Germany just got shut out of the football final by Italy. I was out in the street watching the game on a big screen, and as the Italians started scoring, I was hoping to see some German tears (since they're so rare!). I didn't see any in person, but on the jumbotron the cameramen were quite fond of finding crying fans and focusing on them, male and female.

Thanks, guys. Things are definitely really tough right now, but we'll work through it.

@ tearhunter: I've definitely had tears recently that have fallen down my face and onto my neck/chest/chin. In fact, I thought of you a few days ago after I had been crying when I realized that my entire neck/collarbone area was wet with tears. I'd been talking to my boyfriend and trying not to call too much attention to my crying, since I wanted him to focus on what I was saying rather than comfort me, so I didn't bother to wipe any tears away. They slid down my cheek, past my chin, and down my neck. Some dropped from the end of my chin onto the middle of my chest. Also, sometimes when I'm lying on my side in bed, tears, will slide down the side of my face and onto my neck and chest.

@ meantangerine: I LOVE crying sports players and fans. I'm a HUGE baseball fan, and I love emotional moments in games and seeing "strong" players tear up, whether it's over a win, loss, or personal emotional situation.

Okay, about my boyfriend's tears: It was completely dark in the bedroom, so I didn't actually see any of his tears, but they were soaking the night shirt I was wearing. The shirt was a tank top, so I could feel some of the tears spilling onto my shoulder and chest. Some probably did slide onto my breast area around the tank top. I also stroked his face with my hand, and it was completely coated with a layer of wetness from a steady stream of tears. His hair was also damp around his ears and behind his eyes from tears sliding around to the side. He tends to get really congested when he cries, and he usually interrupts his crying every five minutes or so to blow his nose. After we talked about what was bothering him and I could feel him beginning to break down again, I kissed his cheeks, and I could taste the saltiness of his tears all over them. Some of them dripped down over his lips while I was kissing them, too. It was extremely exciting and arousing to kiss his lips as I felt them contort and tremble. At first, they just twitched a little bit, but then he said something that pushed him over the edge, and his entire mouth contorted and bulged as he began to really sob. One thing about his crying that I always notice is that when he starts to cry really hard, he lets out a lot of short sobs in each breath. He's a big guy, so maybe he has large lungs, lol, but he seems to be able to let out a lot of rapid-fire sobs within one breath. It's a really beautiful expression of his emotional release, to me.

Oh, one side note: the next morning, we were talking a little about it, and he made one sly comment about how I must have enjoyed the crying. I know he's just teasing me, but I always give him a "look"  when he says things like that. But then he told me that he's so glad that he can feel so comfortable letting it all out with me, and that he really appreciates how much I love his emotions. So that was a nice thing to hear, especially since I can't help but be a little self-conscious about it. I know I've said this before, but I'm so grateful that he sees my fetish in that way -- as a positive thing that actually enhances his trust in me.

No problem! Ich mache einen Deutschkurs. Ich bin seit drei Wochen hier, und in einer Woche fliege ich wieder nach Hause.
