This Man’s Wife Cries About Absolutely Anything So He Started Writing The Reasons Down

ADVERTISEMENT

Aaron Gillies tweeted a list of the brilliant reasons why his wife, Lex, cries all the time and it blew up the Internet. Lex clearly has a sweet and sensitive soul!

“My wife cries at absolutely anything. I mean, ANYTHING. So I started writing the reasons down,” wrote Gillies, a comedy writer in the UK. For the record – Lex was totally OK with the list and owns her emotions. She even tweeted; “Loving how many people are sharing their ‘crying because…’ stories. These are my people. WE ARE LEGION.” If you have something that ALWAYS sets off your waterworks, let us know in the comments!

More info: Twitter

The tweet inspired others to share their reasons for crying:

Some thought Lex was being attacked…

I cry for every military homecoming video I watch. I cried when I spilled milk. I cry every time my niece sends me pictures of her baby. I cry during Harry Potter movies.

Me and my daughter always cry simultaneously at same things: once she was downstairs and I was upstairs, the telly was on downstairts, showing a Moomin cartoon with a very moving scene in it. We both heard the movie and met halfway in the stairs, both crying our eyes out! We have laughed at that so much afterwards!

My daughter & nieces play sports. I get choked up when any of the girls get hurt (ours or the opposing) because ALL the girls take a knee when a fellow player gets hurt & I find that so touching.

Yep, since I grew older, I realized that I was crying at every happy thing on a screen. But I've almost gotten a handle on it since I realized that if I watched any of those happy things with the musical accompaniment, I probably wouldn't cry. I got control over it.

Maybe she’s a crybaby and crybabies are 100% immature and manipulative. The crying must be ignored if it becomes a bad habit. Do not comfort her when she cries, otherwise she will reinforce the childish behavior, even though she’s an adult. Just let her cry it out, it will make her better when you ignore her.

I cry at parades. The second the flag bearers start I bawl. I have NO IDEA why and I am NOT a crier. They call me ice princess. I do hide it a lot though. I cry in secret and on the inside.

Also, I cried so much at the end of the INXS Mini Series "Never Tear Us Apart" where Michael Hutchence dies and it's announced on the news. I still remember that day, 19 years on. I think everyone who is an INXS fan can relate to this.

Lex sounds wonderful, adorably awkward cry face. I VERY rarely cry. I am a little envious of the people so overcome by things that we take for granted that they can't contain their feels.

If you read it properly it says she cried because it was 'nice' not because it was 'bad'. Crying is not necessarily a response to something sad or bad, but also things that are happy or beautiful.
