[Closed] When was the last time you cried?

pimps dont cry.

Couple of months ago.

I'll often have a weep... very rarely for a memory though.. beautiful music usually does the trick..

plucking nostril hair yesterday morning.
Youch.

If we ignore the dust in my eye at reading the Bullheart thread and also ignore getting a ball in the spuds playing football over the weekend for 1 moment.

I would say it was watching the Giro when Wouter Weylandt died, particually the next stage when they all finished in a line. really touched me that did.

pimps dont cry.

Except when they've been continuously dissapointed by an iDieter.

I cried whilst watching Eastenders on a massive come down about 7 years ago.

I don't cry, I make onions cry.

reading bullheart's recent post

About 30 years ago I reckon.

quiet often in the last 12 months.
i am a proper soft shyte me.......... 😀

Bullhearts post made me realise how bad my hayfever must be!

I got something in my eye.

its all very american this whole "i'm a man and its ok to cry" thing

bunch of girls!

its all very american this whole "i'm a man and its ok to cry" thing

mmm.. like yah, totally

My upper lip trembles every time I watch Toy Story 3 and they are heading towards the incinerator. And then again at the end.

Saturday morning.

I wandered downstairs made a huge fuss of of our large, habitually lazy tabby cat who rolled on his back and emitted what can only be described as gaseous death from his back end, whilst purring his head off.

It certainly made my eyes water.

When i watched the film Up, last year was it?

Last year losing both parents - still feel "lost" at times 🙁

Shed a tear whilst delivering my groom speech at my wedding this year.
Other than that, cried manly tears watching Men of honour when Cuba Gooding Jr does his diving suit walk in the court room with De Niro screaming at him.

Awesome movie.

Only when I hurt myself.

2.5 years ago, when my newborn twins were in intesive care, at different hospitals, that was tough.

At that point, a nurse took me asside and said I shouldn't let my wife or kids ever see me cry, that will certainly stick with me and I think thats right.

I don't think I'v cried since childhood other than that. Had to fight it at my grannys funeral

I cry a fair bit. And I think having a child has probably made me more emotional.

In true middletrackworld style, recently (i.e. past few weeks) it was a couple of Radio 4 plays that have set me off good an proper. 😯

One was about a woman forming a relationship after her husband died. Nice bit with her reading out an [i]"If you are reading this then I am dead"[/i] letter from her husband to her daughter. *gulp*

The other was about a girl talking to her grandmother trying to understand why her mum was so sad and why she killed herself. Basically it turned out the mother had watched her young son being trampled to death by a horse.

[i]I shouldn't let my wife or kids ever see me cry, that will certainly stick with me and I think thats right.[/i]

it may have worked for you but I can't see why your family knowing that you're as upset as them is a bad thing?

you might need to pull yourself together a bit and get on with life at times but to 'not show it' seems a bit old school.

it may have worked for you but I can't see why your family knowing that you're as upset as them is a bad thing?

I'm feeling a little let down by him right now.

Have really toughened up since working with children in care and having to read their files. But recently saw a little boy I worked closely with and was fond of start a downward spiral to who knows where, and I'll probably never see him again. So, two weeks ago.

And a big plus one for "Up" last year, I needed a bucket to catch em......!

The tears only come from visually for me, like watching a film. No idea why - could be deeply moved by something genuine but wouldn't cry, but would start blubbing watching some bollox at the cinema.

Exception was when the first child was born. Lord Have Mercy.

beautiful music usually does the trick..

I can occasionally get a bit emotional and choked up listening to (and specially watching) tango. Which I've always found a tad bizarre and a tad embarrassing. But then I've always cried for Argentina ..... the last time I bawled my eyes out proper, was in the departure lounge of Cordoba (Arg) Airport, with all my family there, **** me that was embarrassing 😀 ..... damn that latin blood in me.

start blubbing watching some bollox at the cinema.

Yep, I've spotted that some movie makers seem to have the formula for that nailed. You could be watching some piece of trash not caring about any of the characters then they just go through their little rain dance and you get all emotional about nothing. Corporal punishment for them all I say ( does anyone know what the little rain dance is?)

Last time I watched 'Steel Magnolias'.

Sunday after an argument with Ms TINAS.

Last time GW insulted me online.

Where's this Bullheart post?

A few nights ago, in the cinema.

I had a bit of dust in my watching Benjamin Button with Mrs BB, only dust mind.

Last proper cry was a year ago, being phoned on a campsite at 0400 in the morning saying my Dad has passed and having to drive 3 hours back from Dorset with my 2 children in the back, asking why daddy has made us pack up while its still dark. Longest and lonliest drive i have ever made, silent crying to yourself whilst driving is not recommended.

Not generally a crier coming from a 70's scottish parented upbringing, but i agree with an above comment that having kids can make you more open to your emotions.

Yesterday when I got an email from my late brothers partner.

Actually I think it was on Saturday; some documentary about the British Olympic Gymnastics team hopefuls, and events leading up to the trials. Can't even remember why it was on, it was after Footy Focus or something maybe. Basically about a bunch of young lasses, who trained incredibly hard, but there were a dozen or so of 'em, and only six places.

To see the unsuccessful ones, having their hopes and dreams dashed, some knowing that was their last ever chance of performing on such a big stage, was heartbreaking. Imagine having to deal with such an emotional hammer blow, at such a tender age. Horrible. Really quite upset me tbh. 😥

Just read the happy [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/i-think-im-about-to-be-diagnosed-with-cancer-and-im-fairly-scared/page/42#post-2867831 ]Bullheart[/url] thread, so I'm blubbung right now.

Unlike last Wednesday, as I was told I would when we went to that dreadful Harry Potter film.

When I was 10 ... as the years roll on I'm wondering if it's no longer possible for me to cry.

When my soon to ex-wife kept threatening to no not let me see my son. Just because she could.

When Channel bl**dy Four put Marley and Me on the other week. I wouldn't mind but I knew what was going to happen and I [i]still[/i] cried.

About 3 weeks ago when my dad got the all clear from pancreatic cancer after 6 months in hospital
Never used tell my parents I loved them much
I do now !

Last time i properly wailed was when i had to have my dog put down 2 years ago. The right piece of music sets me off too.

Last time i cried was day 3 in hospital 6 weeks ago to the day. It was in the evening after the doctors had been around on their rounds and told me what damage i had done to myself. The few hours between then and when lights were turned out made it sink in the seriousness of serious injury, what danger you put yourself into when on the mtb, and how lucky i was to be a) still alive, and 2) alive and not paralyzed.

I then cried again 7 days later when i was in the recovery suite in theatre, and the surgeon decided that when on the operating table after moving my body through the movements, i didn't need surgery. Those were relief tears.

Nearly cried Saturday. Had a new pair of prescription Oakleys delivered in the morning & had chipped a lense by mid afternoon. Suppose I should be happy they saved my eyeball:o)

and said I shouldn't let my wife or kids ever see me cry, that will certainly stick with me and I think thats right.

I had to see my wife and three kids off back to the UK last month, was brave right through checking them onto the flight, the security bit at Miami airport is very open, so I kissed them all goodbye still trying to hold it all in, saw them go through the security scanners, they picked up their bags and the wife picked up my wee boy onto her shoulders for one last wave before they went out of sight, I just cracked , balled my eyes out in the middle of the airport depatures hall for a while before I could face heading home all alone....

Since having kids I've become far more susceptible to scattered tears. Probably due to lack of sleep. The last time I was in bits was over football FFS.

I cry over anything. Seriously, I cry over adverts, spilt stuff in the kitchen, anything. I've always been a bit of a weeper though :/

Tried writing this post a few times but everyday since 4am on June 25th when I was called and told that my boyfriend of 3 years had been killed by a drink driver whilst he was on the 2nd day of his cycle ride across America. He should have been arriving home on Thursday. Still doesn't feel real- i was looking for him at arrivals when picking his mum up from the airport. When I'm lost in a day dream or when I refuse to acknowledge it's happened I have to pinch myself by remembering how cold he was when went to see him since it happened. I'm struggling.

today... it's been a bit of an emotional one.

Everytime I watch Ice Age....so every morning before work.

tyredbiker - that's shit.

saying 'time will help' is trite but it is true, however, nothing's going to help you through the short term except your freinds and family - don't push them away when they try and help, even if they're not sure what to do or say.

tyredbiker thats horrible 🙁

virtual hug sent your way.

Cheers guys, one of the hardest things has been knowing that my parents are having to deal with me, whether I'm bawling like a toddler, shouting obscenities or probably the worst just silent and numb and shut off from the world and all whilst they are dealing with their own grief. They don't always say the right thing but they are there.

Unfortunately I'm a southern lass and have one more year at uni in scotland- I know my friends will be there for me if I need them to be but it's alot of shit to put on a bunch of 21 year olds. Hopefully the uni will be supportive though- and I'll probably get in contact with Cruse which is a charity that helps those going through bereavement.

It's just utter crap- there's not one place I love that we haven't been to together. He got me into cycling- and when I'm out on the bike I can escape a bit. I haven't cycled alone yet though- someone else being there helps me to suck it in a bit. Memories come flooding back regardless though- even silly things like my friend charging ahead and remembering how D would insist I went first so he would be there straight away if I hurt myself.

I can't give you any advice, but I feel for you. Stay strong.

In Ikea, about ten years ago. Awful sodding place.

Thats awful. Sorry for your loss tyredbiker.

truly shit tyredbiker, sorry to hear. horrible situation. don't worry about your parents it's what they're for, let them take some burden.

That really is shit tyredbiker. 🙁 I hope things get better with time...they will, when the fog of the present clears.

As for me, I cried singing the national anthem recently.

tyredbiker thats very very sad.

On a lighter note, puff the magic dragon or bright eyes always sets me off.

I don't want to make light of this thread given tyredbiker's posts, but it's also one of the reasons I love STW despite the near constant bickering - in this case hh45's post right in the middle of the other ones. Proper spat my coffee out.

Most days since my younger brother (aged 21) died whilst out riding on May 30th. Still struggling with to accept it. He was my best friend.

Tyredbiker - Andyhilton : really terrible. Bad things happen to good people. Put anything I was going to post in totally perspective. 😥

Massive virtual hugs for Tyredbiker and Andyhilton. So sorry.

Last time I cried properly (full-on uncontrollable sobbing) was at my auntie-in-law's funeral, in March. Other than that I did have a bit of a stifled blub when I watched The Time Traveller's Wife the other weekend.

Massive virtual hugs for Tyredbiker and Andyhilton. So sorry.

Agreed with putting things in perspective. Working at a gym because otherwise I can't afford university (was in two minds going back as it's where we met and worked together but my colleagues have been really supportive and also told me some funny stories such as D having his eye on me since I was 16, which given the 5year age gap is just wrong!).

Had some one ask how I was getting on and how D was last week- threw me as I wasn't expecting it at all. But all these moaning women come in complaining about such trivial things and I have to bite my tongue from yelling 'I don't give a flying **** about your aqua aerobics being cancelled! Go jump in your own pi$$ somewhere else! I've lost the man I thought I was going to spend my life with!' Been a bit rude to the horrible ones though- figure I can get away with it at the moment...

I'm so sorry AndyHilton.

Thanks for the comments. It's shit and it doesn't make sense but I keep getting told it will get easier.

tyredbiker - I can sort of understand what you're probably going through.If you want to talk my email's in my profile.

I'm almost sorry I started this thread...........

But then, looking at the support and (virtual) friendship here, I'm not.

Tyred and Andy, it may mean nothing, it may mean everything, but we are here for you.

I have to bite my tongue from yelling'I don't give a flying **** about your aqua aerobics being cancelled! Go jump in your own pi$$ somewhere else! I've lost the man I thought I was going to spend my life with!'

when my knee cap was up on my thigh and my lower leg was at a right angle to my thigh 😯

That frikken hurt and a few tears were rolling I must admit, still fugged and going through intensive physio to rebuild my leg strength.

but nothing like the boys Tyred and Andy that's on a different level - all the best to you and your family

Thanks again guys. Cycling has been a refuge. I'd have cracked up now without it.

Couple of years back now - but the day of my wee boys funeral I think. It was a while after his death (12 days old, suspicious circumstances so massive hold up until the courts would let it go ahead). Still not entirely got over it, and the events of and leading up to that time still haunt me and have massive bearing on my life.

I think I am still somewhat emotionally fragile in some respects from that, yet I have hardened my heart in other ways which was needed in order to move on in life from that entirely traumatic time.

I don't want to make light of this thread given tyredbiker's posts, but it's also one of the reasons I love STW despite the near constant bickering - in this case hh45's post right in the middle of the other ones. Proper spat my coffee out.

Apologies, in typical impatient style I read five posts then went straight to the end and posted. My condolences to all those with real losses to cry over.

reading tyredbiker's posts have made me shed a little tear. as has the news that bullhearts sarcoma is in remission. oh and the news of impending baby bullheart.
tyerdbiker and andy, i have no idea what you are going through but my thoughts are with you. can't imagine losing my sister or my wife.

Quite a lot!, usually every time i watch Diy sos The big build!, really chokes me up when i see act's of kindness like that, i would be a right cry baby if i worked on that show.
Sad storys in a paper or magazine....music that reminds me of a certain person or event in my life.

My wife used to cry a lot until she developed Post natal depression after the birth of our second child, that was over 2 yrs ago now and iv'e never seen her cry since...not even at her Grans funeral, i think its blunted her emotions.

when my knee cap was up on my thigh

AndyHilton- that would be great- currently in Cornwall with family so only on the phone when I'm being antisocial will try and email but will when I'm back on Sunday regardless.

Don Simon- I came pretty close but went for a walk instead, they'd just have something else to complain about otherwise. His friend is arranging a fundraising day in Davids name for the charity he was cycling for ( http://www.justgiving.com/davidwilliams )so we've decided to put posters up in the gym so that more people know what has happened without having to write something brutal and final. Hopefully they've been put up whilst I've been away otherwise I'll get some nosy member poking her beak in.

And lastly Captainflashheart- I'm so glad you did.

And lastly Captainflashheart- I'm so glad you did.

Very windy here, just got a bit of grit in my eye.........

🙂

I'm almost sorry I started this thread....

Nah man. These threads bring out the best in folk, all folk, on here. Well done for starting it. Seriously mate.

Need threads like this, to share stuff. Good to be able to release, sometimes. I've met some of the nicest people I've ever met because of threads like this on STW.

Need to stop and think about what's [i]really[/i] important, now and then. There but for the grace of God and all that.

Can't even begin to find the right words to say to Tyred and AndyH. Other than to say keep on reading this silly forum, cos there's times when it's a proper beacon in the darkness.

Manhugs out to Capt. Kronos too 🙁

"Cycling has been a refuge"

Oh yes.

March. Just climbing back up from the wife leaving me and my mum passing away, thinking I was doing ok, driving to Llandegla for a solo bike ride and a certain song came on the radio. I just fell to bits. Had to pull over and boo'd my heart out.

Felt good though.
