Hi Mellors

I have been intrigued with your responses here Mellors. I have a question, which I consider to be very serious indeed - and I would very much like to read your feelings on the matter.

I am a very emotional person, tending to react to hurt and anger with instant and often uncontrollable tears. I have been called a cry baby, an emo, a weakling - you name it. I have found (a generalization) that very often men don't quite know what to do with a crying female. (In my case, if hubby would just hold me ...) How do you feel about a woman crying as a response to her feelings? How do you deal with it? Do you feel angered and unsympathetic, or are you able to comfort? Do you feel women should try and control her tears? Ok - that was more than one question ....
