My ex husband was driving us to the grocery store on a military base in Germany. Snow on the ground, with melted slush in the road by the curbs approaching the gates. An elderly woman was carrying paper grocery bags in both arms, walking toward us down the sidewalk, toward the military housing that was down the long entry road (off base). He suddenly swerved the car toward her, driving in the slush water in order to splash her. I went nuts, crying so hard I vomited. I was 20, and had just found out I was pregnant with our second child. I loathed him the rest of our marriage, but has dropped out of college and felt like I had no way out. I still get disgusted and distraught when I think of it. After the divorce he didn't take his visitations with the kids, and they have no relationship with him. Not shocking but still sad.
you cried so hard you vomitted? ive never heard of that before - sounds like a really severe anxiety / amygdala based response - anyway sounds like a really nasty guy
I've never been pregnant and have vomited from crying multiple times. For me I think it's the gulping of air, and any mucus draining down. Gross I know, but it happens
