How often do you cry

I’m probably the most unemotional person I know. My wife and daughters are always telling me this. I don’t mean to be, it’s just as it is. My Dad is the same. However when my mum died very unexpectedly in 2022 I was in bits for weeks. I didn’t recognise the person in the mirror crying uncontrollably for what seemed hours a day. My wife then became the strong foot in the relationship for until first time since we’d been together. Took me months to stop welling up at apparent random points of the day when I’d think about her.
That’s the first and only time I can really remember crying as an adult.
Then, June 23 came around.
When Gundo smashed it in I started again. The lads I sit at the etihad with also with me at Wembley. I started again and couldn’t work out why. Then I remembered. Gundo was her favourite player. Couldn’t pronounce his name (always Gundogin) but that was why.
Then Istanbul. I couldn’t do Porto as it was her surprise 60th the same night. She couldn’t work out why I had gone. She offered me money to go thinking that was the reason. She never had a clue me and her sisters had organised this party for her. When we all shouted surprise she obviously had a massive shock (she didn’t do her own birthday party’s) and once this had settled down she made a beeline for me. It was then she realised that the party was the reason I hadn’t gone to Porto. She told me in no uncertain terms that I should be there, supporting the team that we’d been through thick and thin with.
So when that final whistle went in Instanbul I literally fell to my knees on the seat in front. Absolute floods of tears flowing down my cheeks. I knew she’d be the same if she was still here.
Think this is the longest post I’ve ever written. Sorry for going on, I’m sat at home now getting ready for the 3rd crying session in 2 years to start thinking of it all again.

Have a great news year blues.

That could be the best post I've ever read on bluemoon.
 
A close mate of mine, city season card holder for a long while died over christmas and his funeral is monday, we have been all over the country and overseas togetherwatching City, and had plenty of laughs through the years, I reckon I will shed a tear or two on the day for the soppy old fucker
 
Think there is a common theme.

I’ve never been a crier at all. Lost my dog, my mum, and my dad within 6 months of each other, each one broke me more and more. I still well up when I think of my mum and dad, both taken too soon.

Music does it for me, I sometimes put songs on they loved just to remember and that ends up in tears. But that’s ok, it’s a way of remembering and keeping them with me.

I’ve had tattoos done ‘for them’, and I love looking at them and remembering.
 
Last time I cried was when my sister died in October last year. She was only 50 and it was sudden.
Just a few sobs as her mental illness for the last 25 years had led to a bit of a breakdown in our relationship, and we hadn't seen each other for years, although I'd tried to be there for her and we had phone contact on occasion. She was still my "little sister" though.

Before that, in recent years, most of my crying was for City winning.

Think I actually vomited after the CL win, which is pretty hard to do when also crying ;-)

Music is definitely a trigger for me too.
Hope you are doing ok after such an horrendous time x
 
I cry quite a lot. Reminiscing about family no longer with us, wishing my lads were still living at home with us, etc. I can be out walking the dog and get emotional about stuff that I'm thinking about at that time. I can cry at stuff on television that touches me. I cry when close family are diagnosed with illness. I cry quite a lot!
