Here's my summary for the year.

I cried 17 times, at least once per month. Average duration was 5.35 minutes. 76% of the time tears fell from my eyes, and I usually either let them fall unchecked or wipe them from the lower part of my cheek before they get to my chin. I sobbed 12% of the time. I was usually with my wife, and I tended to feel better after crying when she was there. My sister's presence also made me feel better. I felt worse after crying alone. Most of the episodes were due to negative emotions. Three times were due to movies or TV shows, and I didn't feel the need to be comforted then. Once was during sex, which was positive. My wife tended to comfort me with strong hugs, kisses and soothing words, which I liked very much. Once a male friend kissed me on the cheek a few times while I was crying, and I also found that comforting. I'm pretty sure I'm not a lip curler. 

My wife cried 13 times. (I only recorded 10, because three of her episodes I did not witness and she only described them to me). Average duration was 6.7 minutes. Tears fell from her eyes 92% of the time, and she sobbed 61% of the time. She either lets her tears fall unchecked, or generally wipes them by burying her face in a towel or pillow instead of wiping them individually. She has a tremendous lip curl when she's crying over movies. She doesn't really crave physical comfort, but just wants me to listen when she's upset. She doesn't like being kissed on the lips while she's crying, but I really enjoy kissing her cheeks after sad movies, and she lets me.

Neither one of us came close to that statistic that says women cry 64 times a year, and I have always thought we were both rather emotional.

So I've completed Tearhunter's challenge. I rather like this format, but I hesitate to continue posting because I feel like I'm spamming the thread with repetitive episodes. What's the consensus? Should we close out this thread, or do you guys want to leave it open?

I see tearhunter, who started this diary hasn't been on in four months.  Is he alright?

Date: Jan 31, 2015

Time: Somewhere around 9:30 am, when I first woke up.

Duration: I have no idea because I was asleep. I'm guessing just a few minutes.

Reason for Crying: I tend to do this a lot for some reason, but I cry in my sleep when I have a sad dream. In my dream, there was a puppy that was being poorly treated. It was really sweet and would lick my hand. I had to watch it slowly die every day and there was nothing I could do about it. I ended up crying in my dream. When I woke up, there were actual tears running down my face.
