DH embarrassed by my sensitivity

1000 replies

MarysLittleLamb · 26/02/2018 12:52

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??

@HarrietKettle

You are not alone. The Animals of Farthing Wood was truly harrowing at times! That brambles scene, my God.

beansbananas · 26/02/2018 14:58

This has really made me chuckle... your poor husband!

NotACleverName · 26/02/2018 14:58

Oh no, this is the best thread ever.

Thinkingofausername1 · 26/02/2018 14:59

Perhaps you should introduce more fun things that don't make you emotional? Come away from the art for a bit.

actuallyithinkitdoes · 26/02/2018 14:59

No don't take it away!

TerfyMcTerface · 26/02/2018 14:59

NOOOOOO! Don't take the thread down! Which one of you fuckers reported it? Angry

ShatnersBassoon · 26/02/2018 14:59

I'm quite jealous of those who can be moved to shits tears by beautiful things. I think I'm dead in the old aesthetics and culture receptors.

ShatnersWig · 26/02/2018 15:00

we're not entirely sure the OP's genuine, to be honest

Understatement of the day there

QuiteLikely5 · 26/02/2018 15:00

So funny I just read it again for comedy value

😂

Brazenhussy0 · 26/02/2018 15:00

Oh god MNHQ please leave this thread up! It's bloody hilarious Grin

Bluntness100 · 26/02/2018 15:01

I can't believe anyone reported this. Funniest thing on here for ages.

It's not doing any harm!

Royalfuckup · 26/02/2018 15:01

THIS gets taken down yet a thread about fucking jet washing squirrels gets put into classics! Angry

FakeMews · 26/02/2018 15:01

Oh please keep it!
It's creative and entertaining and not hurting anyone?

amusedbush · 26/02/2018 15:01

Oh come on SophieLMumsnet, I reported for classics, not to have it deleted! Please keep it up Grin

ShatnersBassoon · 26/02/2018 15:02

Oh, MNHQ! There's no need to delete something so harmless.

Thistlebelle · 26/02/2018 15:02

uglyswan Grin.

I went to the opera a few years ago and the woman in the row behind was in floods of tears, full on snottery, chest heaving, six hanky crying. (Was it you Mary?)

Now I agree with her that Pinkerton was a bastard and Puccini’s music is wonderful but we paid hundreds of pounds for our tickets. I wanted to be lost in the libretto not irritated and distracted by the self-absorbed idiot in the row behind.

PseuDenim · 26/02/2018 15:02

I went to Rome when I was pregnant and will admit to having to dab my eyes a bit in the Sistine Chapel but I would be a lone parent now if I’d wailed

Whatever you do don’t watch The Railway Children - now THAT gets me sobbing

londonmummy1966 · 26/02/2018 15:02

Pleeeease leave the thread up - it isn't doing anyone any harm and it is cheering up a lot of housebound flu sufferers

amusedbush · 26/02/2018 15:02

I laughed out loud Grin

crackerjacket · 26/02/2018 15:02

Oh god don't delete i'm bored at work.....

Bluntness100 · 26/02/2018 15:02

Cmon, it's defo classic mumsnet. If ever a thread was it this is it.

ShatnersWig · 26/02/2018 15:02

They had no choice really, when so many posters were saying they didn't believe it, awarding it marks out of ten. No one used the T word but loads basically saying it's all bullshit. Can't pull other threads for troll hunting but let this one stand otherwise.... Shame but if people hadn't been so quick to cry (pun intended) foul....

crackerjacket · 26/02/2018 15:03

But why? Why delete it?
