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??

This thread is still going?!

Hilarious. Well done OP.

On page 27 hugely hugely... Grateful to this hilarious thread but frantically reading it before it gets taken down and yet I thought this site was supposed to give joy?

King Alfred cakes anyone? Some people have a sense of humour failure.. Can't you just read something funny and enjoy it, the bloody fun police

Anyway I have born direct witness to this... A friend did cry and become a terribly moved by the pollock in tate modern.

If you all listen very carefully you can hear a small wail as OP has shut herself away in an attic and in howling because no one understands just how much she appreciates art, and we're all just bullies because we didn't agree with her and admire her sensitivity. Which is why she hasn't been back.

It's her one and only set of posts.

or maybe I'm just naive but I cannot imagine anyone being this insensitive and self-deluded

And raging girl.. Does it matter.. Someone has cheered loads of posters up with some light hearted Fun.

Let's hope her attic isn't hiding any paintings like in my old house. We found an entire tryptic there when we bought it. The OP would have found it just too much.

OMG I can't believe there are PP badmouthing Dobby. He was the most loveable person/computed generated image in all the HP films. If you didn't scream and sob your hearts out at his death scene, you are very twisted people with no souls

@SilverySurfer - I make a dementor look like Winnie The Pooh

Yeah, happy to admit to having no soul. Maybe the OP got my soul instead, which is why she feels everything so very deeply?

Dobby was an irritating little shit. And still I sobbed at his demise. DS2 did too. Both when he read the book and again at the film.

iklboo

Runs screaming from the thread

LaurieMarlow hope you get your soul back soon..

UnimaginativeUsername how you can call Dobbie an irritating little shit is beyond my comprehension but at least you had the decency to sob

I did that involuntary sob thing once (like Emma Thompson in Sense and Sensibility when she discovers Edward isn't married after all). It was at my DSS's wedding when the bride showed me her bouquet. Nestling inside was my late DH's crucifix. I had given it to her when he died 4 years previously. I let out a huge involuntary sob and then pulled myself together for the wedding photos (because I am a grown up).

In Venice, I remember emerging from a side street and finding myself in St Mark's Square. It was so beautiful. I didn't scream though - like a normal person, I just caught my breath momentarily.

I feel like some sort of ice queen, I’ve never had these experiences. What the hell.
The most I’ve had is some goosebumps listening to music.

I've not laughed this much in ages!! Bless you OP!!!!!!!!!

And to your OH - wow! Have a drink on me :)!!!!!

I was overcome in the Sistine chapel in 2013. By an overwhelming need to wee. Have you any idea how far away the nearest looks are? My DDs stop laugh about us running past gallery upon gallery of the world's most precious art With me yelling "no time girls! Mommy needs a weeeeeee!"

So if you were escorted out, how long did that take?

Margery Kempe, is that you?

Mumsnet, PLEASE LEAVE THIS THREAD ALONE !

No one cares if it’s real.
I have not tested my pelvic floor to these extremes in a long time.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED...?!!

Mnhq really need to have separate rules for this sort of stuff.. Posters need to calm the fuck down.

King Alfred's cakes
Brian's yoni massage etc
.

Lighten up folks.. Reporting a thread about fainting from art

@livefornaps 😂😂

@MNHQ if you dare delete this thread, you and me are OVAH!

My sons have been watching the "I really love cats" video that someone posted. Pure genius.

'I am Valhalla!'

I think it is more likely that OP has "histrionic personality disorder" than Stenhalt syndrome.

I had a .... no, I mean.... I was a friend to a woman who had that. "She needed me". Needed an audience more like it. I dumped her, when I realised, that while I was her friend, she wasn't mine and never had been. ( also she liked to provoke bikers and I didn't want to die).

Nothing would annoy me more than being in an art gallery enjoying some art, probably on a trip that I've saved loads for - just to have some woman screaming and making a scene.
