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??

Last time I was there they were renovating it nad had scaffolding all over the shop, that is enough to make anyone scream....have they finished the work?

Seriously it must be overwhelming and it is not unusual as Stendl Syndrome explains. I hope for your sake you never visit the Penis Musem in Korea.....

And there is so much more detail to come.

Someone shat themselves at the Taj Mahal.
Another poster also wants to levitate.

It's the thread that just keeps giving.

Love this thread, it's hilarious. I want to hear about the Ops everyday outings.

Oh dear it seems OP has become over emotional again has been escorted out of the building.

This has had me wailing with laughter, your poor DH he needs a medal and probably counselling to deal with the trauma you have inflicted on him.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! oh they did but they didn't react. Hmm.

@SophieLMumsnet could you have a quick re-write of the guidelines so that anything judged to be harmlessly comedic can be passed by special decree? After all, your post and the many questioning the veracity of OP remain, so people can make their own minds up. Surely the main reason to remove threads is the potential for harm and upset, can't see any here?
Mind, I haven't RTFT yet, just jumping in to try and preserve it so that I can chortle later at leisure! Please?

I get really emotional and scream at people if I really like them and I've not seen them for a while.
Dunno why that would be a problem for anyone.

OPs longsuffering husband needs an emergency Pikachu on a stick to interrupt any contemplative moments as do we all, at times....

This thread has made my day!

It reminds me of that bit uncle minty says 'as a youth, I used to weep outside the butchers...' in withnail

RTFT. An old lady was nearly harmed in the Sistine chapel.

Uncle Monty!!

Do you think she recognised someone in the painting?

I hope you didn't buy a David apron....it would set you off every time you cooked and DH would be well annoyed lol

Hail Sophie
Hail Sophie

Come back please OP we love you really.

I had to google the Penis Museum in Korea - nearly screamed myself at that one.....

Up until the ground zero bit I found it amusing too. dh's brother was caught up in the attack and is still receiving treatment for the horrors he witnessed. I didn't report but I'm not surprised others have. Not on op. sorry but no.

I said I 'got it' not that I wanted to do it (levitating)
I am sensitive okay

I... Um no, can't say I have ever screamed at a painting.

Yabvu please don't scream

This is possibly the most bizarre thing I’ve ever read on here

You WAILED at a painting?

Jesus wept...Oh no, sorry op, that was you.

Please @MNHQ don't take it down!

It's surely a classic...! If OP is a real user, please encourage her to change user name and hide the thread (easily upset, ya see).

I cried at 'Inside Out' in the cinema, but did my level best to make sure nobody else realised.

When I went to the Sistine Chapel, I was contemplating the art and wotnot when Pikachu bobbed across my field of vision. He (is Pikachu a he?) had been impaled on the stick of a telescopic umbrella and was being hoisted aloft to lead a tour party around. So that kind of took me out of the moment. Perhaps the OPs longsuffering husband needs an emergency Pikachu on a stick to interrupt any contemplative moments before the wailing begins?

This made me snort in a most unladylike manner 😂😂
