Excellent writing! Very entertaining, very clever, very absorbing. An enjoyable read. Do you cry during sex, too?

I loved this essay so much! Thanks Sarah! Incidentally my last relationship involved a lot of crying in restaurants. This was alien to me because I generally am not a huge restarant crier (unless they're out of pad thai as they were last night...WTF! How can a thai place be out of pad thai?!). After careful evaluation of the relationship, I realized that he (the ex) was elliciting that reaction. It should be a red flag from now on that if I find myself crying often, I should bail earlier.

I am so looking forward to this series. I wish I could be a foxy tomboy who never cries. I worry that crying is manipulative. But it just seems to happen every so often -- the initial tremble in my voice, the desperate attempt to hold it at bay, and then, after, the blotchy face and drippy nose. If I wanted to manipulate people, I like to think I could find a more attractive way to go about it.
Seeing someone else write about this shit makes me feel better about it. More, please!

Just as nasty as other forms of emotional manipulation.

I didn't cry between eighth grade and college graduation (big crying years for most), but ever since then it's been an endless tear buffet. I. Just. Can't. Stop. Thanks for sharing and making me feel less crazy.

how wonderful.
"I was like a gunshot victim who saw the blood before she felt the pain. What is this liquid? How did it get on my face?"
Beautifully done. I think i have cried three times in the last 20 years. I am jealous.
