Bit of a Observation feast... that's what I get for leaving it so long between posts!

Two of the observations relate to my wife (as recorded in the Crying Diary thread) - which is the first time this year I've seen her shed tears! Was beginning to go a bit crazy! She has got a bit emotional a couple of times with visible tears in her eyes but nothing falling down her face.

The first observation (25th July) was a full on tear explosion - I can't go into the details, always worry someone recognises the event - which is unlikely! Other than as I mentioned in the Crying Diary she was frustrated and disappointed with a friends actions. I was not with her when the event with her friend occurred - she may have been crying in front of her friend (or just after while alone) but I don't know for sure so not counted as an observation until I ask after a suitable duration has passed.  
She was telling me a day after the event at home - I could hear the emotion building in her voice, her eyes were beginning to tear. Started to secretly get a little turned on - it's been a while! As she spoke and became quite angry her voice faltered completely - she was on the verge of sobbing - breathing in gasps and had to stop talking to regain a bit of composure. Tears were now brimming in her eyes, which dispite her pause in talking spilled out and streamed down her face. She attempted to speak again but was almost inaudible - more tears fell running down the previous fresh tear tracks and her chin did a definite wobble - quite unusual for my wife. Tears continued to fall quickly down her face, struggled not to get noticably turned on after such a tear drought. Tears started to drip off her chin and run down her neck - this I think tickled her skin as she wiped a few tears away from this area. She managed to slow her crying and stop reasonably quickly - given the initial intensity I thought she would be crying for a while but she only cried for about 10 minutes or so. As she calmed down I gave her a hug, as we parted I kissed her cheek which was soaking wet and tasted delicious

The second observation of my wife in the car was not such a major event (again reason in the Crying Diary) but did involve a tear - albeit just the one! As she stopped talking she was clearly crying but fighting the tears. She was blinking like mad - which was interesting as I've rarely witnessed my wife fight tears like this. However as one eye was full of tears she only succeeded in blinking it from her eye - it slowly began to roll down from the outside corner of her eye down her cheek leaving a very visible tear track down her cheek. When it reached her mid cheek she used her full hand to wipe her face removing the tear and drying her face completely. Her eyes where wet with tears for a few minutes but she did not speak again until she could do so without getting upset. My wife does not believe in crying in front of our daugther - who was in the back of the car and would not have seen the tear. Apart from when she was a baby or a most a toddler my wife has never shed tears that my daugther has witnessed - a topic for another thread perhaps.

Observations continued in next post... in case I lose this one!
