DH embarrassed by my sensitivity

[MarysLittleLamb]

I get very moved by certain types of art and music, so much so that I occasionally cry. Last year we went to the Louvre and I ended up silently weeping at a number of art works. When we got out of the gallery DH admitted that he finds it all a bit over the top and unnecessary - as if I do it on purpose!

Anyway we've just got back from Rome. I became a little overwhelmed in the coliseum when I thought about the violence and death that had taken place there. DH said I was the only one in the entire place crying and he was fed up with it. I explained that I don't do it on purpose, it just gets to me.

We went to the Sistine Chappell the day after and I ended up screaming at the MichaelAngelo. A number of tourists tried to console me but DH just walked off muttering "for fucks sake". I felt so stupid. When we got out DH had a massive rant at me about how I spoil everything for him and he often wishes he was with someone normal who could visit places without making a scene. He also declared that he no longer enjoys travelling with me. I'm gutted because travel is the main thing we do together. AIBU to think I can't change who I am or should I??

Best laugh I've had in ages

Where are you going next OP?

(Mumsnet group outing anyone?)

Cool story bro

I saw this the other day, made me ROFL

If by some tiny chance this is real then how self centred are you!? Its really odd and inconsiderate behaviour and either mortifying (for your husband) or incredibly annoying for everyone around you.

I am amazed anyone would put up with that shit, your poor husband, if I knew you I'd be out of the door or shuffling back to stand with other people gaping at you and pretending I'd never seen you before in my life.

In answer to your original OP - yes change and yes you should feel stupid because that was ridiculous behaviour, get a grip!

OP, are you a child? You know having a full on meltdown because you couldn't touch the pretty pictures?

This is hilarious I howled at the part where you made an old lady jump 😂😂😂😂

Screaming at the Michaelangelo!

Baaaaaaaa!!!!

That website asks
' Is this you?
Are you easily overwhelmed by such things as bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens nearby?
Do you get rattled when you have a lot to do in a short amount of time?
Do you make a point of avoiding violent movies and TV shows?
Do you need to withdraw during busy days, into bed or a darkened room or some other place where you can have privacy and relief from the situation?
Do you make it a high priority to arrange your life to avoid upsetting or overwhelming situations?
Do you notice or enjoy delicate or fine scents, tastes, sounds, or works of art?
Do you have a rich and complex inner life?
When you were a child, did your parents or teachers see you as sensitive or shy?'

Nowhere does it ask if you scream at artworks...

I have a highly sensitive child. She does not exhibit behaviour anything close to what op has described..

OMD Captain Cardamom, I was about to ask if OP's friends ever sent her that card!!!

Ah feck lads what have you done to me. I've just read the Wiki summary of Homeward Bound because I'd forgotton about Shadow falling and I'm bawling.

I'm not wailing though.

Have you tried getting a grip?

when is this being moved to classics?

It's the bit where she says her partner says he no longer enjoys travelling with her that got me. Pure comedy gold. 🤣🤣🤣

OP, in the nicest possible want you sound nuts and I’m with your DH on this

I'm just here to congratulate PP on the Wailing Wall comment. Gold

This is the funniest thing I have read on mumsnet. I can't stop laughing imagining you wailing at art. I'm surprised your dh has put up with the pot performances this long!

You sound very histrionic.

Do you also out-cry the chief mourners at funerals?

OP?

Oh dear lord the thought of OP at a funeral bwahahahahahaha

Just in case this is not a wind up - get some therapy OP because your histrionics are not normal and you are spoiling other peoples experiences.

MNHQ - please don't delete this thread

Well if you respond so passionately in bed maybe it can be a good thing!

I frightened a little old lady who jumped out of her skin when I wailed

I really shouldn't find that as hilarious as I do.

I don't know about Michaelangelo but this thread has had me in tears

OP if this is for real then get a referral for help because this extreme a response is not normal and is affecting your life negatively (unless you enjoy being booted out of places)
