I honestly don’t know what to make of this. Is this funny? Cute? Disturbifyin’?
Until such time as I can nail down exactly what the proper, socially-sanctioned response to this is, I’m just gonna have to stick with “high-larious.”
My Wife Crying at the End of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Wife Crying at the End of Back to the Future
Wife Crying After Marley and Me
Clearly, the couple is doing well, and they’re both ok (both with each other and with the situation), but *damn.* Just seems a little over-the top.

My first thought is that there’s something wrong with her. Imagine what her children might endure.
(Do women usually fall asleep during The Princess Bride? Every woman I know has done that.)
Well … I dunno. Some people just get weepy at movies. Personally, I get weepy at heartwarming moments from 1940s radio dramas set at Christmas.
God knows I’m not proud of it, but it doesn’t seem to have ruined my life.

Yeah, but there’s “weepy,” and there’s “complete loss of emotional control.”
One thing I note… the husband not only doesn’t seem to have a problem with this, but indeed seems to find it endearing. And it appears that she’s at least honestly emotional, not using it as a control mechanism. To which all I can really say is “good for them.” But it’s still pretty odd.
That’s fair. There is a line between “eccentric” and “crazy” but exactly where it is can be subjective.
I want to say “as long as they’re not on public relief or stealing to support their problems, it’s not a problem” but then I think, “Howard Hughes, crazy even though he was self-supporting.”
Weird world.
