Wife/Aunt

Date: 04 June 2014

Time: 8.50pm

Duration: 2 - 3 minutes

Reason for crying: My wife and her aunt (from Canada) met after 3 years. They are very close.

Location: Train station

Crying intensity: Intense from my wife. She hugged her and buried her face on her shoulders. Her body was only shaking at first, then you could hear sobbing sounds. The aunt (very attractive despite being 40+) only shed tears. My wife had her back to me so I could see her face clearly the whole time. I think at least 3 - 4 whole tears rolled down her cheeks. They were slightly mascara-ridden.  

Reaction to tears: They both ignored them while they were hugging. They wiped them off soon after. 

Lip curled? Yes. After letting go of her aunt she turned to hug her uncle. I got a full view of her face and her bottom lip was doing a small-medium sized bulge, with her mouth slightly open.

People present: Me, my dad and my wife's uncle.   


I actually wanted to see her aunt cry for a long time, as I knew her since I was a child. It's too bad she didn't cry harder. Like I said, she's a very beautiful woman despite her age. 
 

Unknown Female

Date: 19th June

Time: Afternoon

Duration: Over the course of about 90 mins

Reason for crying: The Fault In Our Stars

Location: Cinema

Crying Intensity: Very soft.

Reaction to tears: Wiped away with a tissue

Lip Curl: Unknown. The obs was out of the corner of my eye, so I didn't really want to look to give her some privacy

Not sure if this counts as it does strain the definition of an observation, but I wanted to include something.

Date: 28 June 2014
Time: 16:00
Duration: 5 minutes
Reason for Crying: A friend had just had surgery, and had gotten a divorce a couple of weeks ago. I had gone to her home to bring her groceries and prepare some meals for her. She started talking about some things her ex did to her and I ended up crying.
Location: Friend's home in the kitchen.
Crying Intensity: Tears down face
Reaction to Tears: Wiped tears from cheeks with paper towels. She didn't have tissues on hand. Who doesn't have tissues in their home?
Lip curled?: No
People Present: Me and my friend. She cried for 15 minutes. There was a little bit of a lip curl for like thirty seconds.

I've noticed that since this thread has been pushed there have been far fewer obs posted in the forum. I thought this thread was supposed to be to track our own crying but it seems that puerile are using it to report all crying events. Which us a shame never while this provides interesting data, the party's Herr don't provide much detail as to the actual experience of crying or seeing others.

@inmyarms: You can always ask for more details if you want. Tearhunter seems to have disappeared so I'm not sure this thread is going to be useful for data collection anymore Nevermind, he's still here.

Wife obs: She has been away for about a month. We were talking over webcam.

Date: 5 August 2014
Time: 14:00
Duration: 10 minutes over the course of an hour
Reason for Crying: Things haven't been going her way, and she was exhausted.
Location: Im home, she's in Italy.
Crying Intensity: Tears down face and sobbing.
Reaction to Tears: She still had makeup on when the tears started. As soon as she noticed the mascara tears she swore and went off to wash her face. When she got back she was crying a little harder, and quickly wiped each tear as it fell down her cheek.
Lip curled?: She was talking most of the time, and when she paused to sob she turned away and put the back of her hand over her mouth. So probably yes, but I didn't see it.
People Present: Just us
