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??

I feel inspired to make the myself feel more when I visit art.

I think mn should organise feeling art flash mob over London.. Feel, reveal, don't judge your feelings..

Bloomed · 05/03/2018 12:25

I'd love that! A shrieking flashmob.

SunshineAllTheWhile · 05/03/2018 13:42

Fuck me shakeyourcaboose I’ve not gone from giggling with laughter to sad tears so quickly!! wipes more tears and blows nose on sleeve

Aridane · 05/03/2018 15:03

I advance searched OP hoping to find other threads she has started / posted on - but, alas, this is the only one.

< screams at OP >

TheRagingGirl · 05/03/2018 15:07

to find other threads she has started / posted on - but, alas, this is the only one

Well, of course. It's been pretty brilliant trolling, don't you think?

DalekDalekDalek · 05/03/2018 15:21

Oh shakeyourcaboose that makes me want to watch The Land Before Time. I may wail at it though ...

Aridane · 05/03/2018 15:27

Oh yes - was just hoping she might have trolled on other threads

Fletchasaurus · 05/03/2018 15:35

Bloody comedy gold! Seriously though, get a grip!

LanguidLobster · 05/03/2018 15:38

I luffs her, I want her to come back and share the sensitivity.

We'd all be caring and concerned and meaningful and wail in unison.

The most I can muster today is that the cat vomited on the hardwood flooring and I am steeling myself to clear it up, it's a delicate operation involving lots of toilet roll. I feel very sensitive about it (but haven't wailed as yet).

Damn cats. No opera here to console me. Nor Michelangelo.

JustHooking · 05/03/2018 15:58

Your poor husband
I wouldn't go anywhere with you
? seperate holidays perhaps

anotherchangetomyname · 05/03/2018 16:49

You sound like my mother. I can no longer go to historical sites, the cinema, theatre or art galleries with her. It isn't that it's just embarassing, it's that it is totally unnecessary. Learn to bloody control yourself. You sound very hardwork.

PatsyStone39 · 05/03/2018 17:38

Op, if your husband divorces you, i hear Gazza is single. ;)

shakeyourcaboose · 05/03/2018 18:40

sunshine and dalek I know, it's such a sad wee doodle! dalek the song from LBT is so sad... 'don't lose your way, with each passing day...' 😭 (These aren't tears, it's something in my eye!)

LilaBlue · 05/03/2018 18:53

It's not him, it's you. You're making a show of yourself, just stop it.

DalekDalekDalek · 05/03/2018 18:57

shakeyourcaboose I have that song on my phone, I listen to it when I need a good cry! (But only in private, I'm not like the OP!)

Hoardinghobbit · 05/03/2018 22:18

Yes, go to Centre Parks. On Friday. That'll give you something to wail at. 😉

Kewqueue · 27/10/2018 13:13

I was looking up posts about Rome and restumbled across this classic which always makes me laugh. You're welcome.

Cherries101 · 27/10/2018 13:16

Inappropriate emotions reactions is an early symptom of many serious conditions. I suggest you speak to a GP about it.

OopsPardonMrsArden · 27/10/2018 13:18

Isn't this in Classics yet?! Grin

Kewqueue · 27/10/2018 13:18

It's an old post - I think it was decided that it was a troll but the comments are great!

HB2Me · 27/10/2018 13:20

Brilliant. I had forgotten about this one.

Screaming at the MA! 😂😂😂

POPholditdown · 27/10/2018 13:21

Dammit Kewqueue I was hoping the ‘OP’ had finished crying and returned to the thread.
