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??

Did the OP ever come back to admit the divorce?

I can’t believe the DH would’ve put up with it much longer.

Never sad to see this thread resurrected 😂

Loooove this thread!! But also want link to the step inheritance one!

This is my favourite thread of all time

I had a quiet sob at Ground Zero (I lived in NY and had been up the towers in the past) and I do feel emotional at music/dance/art but not to the extent that I physically express it with screams/wails. This does seem a bit excessive and perhaps a chat with your GP could be an option. You are not reacting in a measured way. All the best.

The intermittent serious post with wise advice and commiserations makes this all the more hilarious. Go at it High Art Howler!

This totally made my Christmas

This thread always makes me smile when it pops back up again

Oh I didn't realise this was the 'screaming at the Michelangelo' thread when I opened it. I had heard about this thread but never actually read it, what a great belated Xmas present!

It sounds like the opposite of autism. Being too empathize

love this thread. it's obviously a troll and made up but I don't really care!

I’m not sure. I think, somewhere out there, when you least expect it, you’ll be standing next to someone who starts shrieking and pulling at their clothing while looking at a bus stop advert that uses a piece of Renaissance art. You’ll freak out and then realise it’s the Sistine Screamer.

You can't be for real, surely, OP?

Thanks whoever resurrected this thread am crying with laughter all over again

@mnhq classics please

OP are you my dsis?!
My dsis is the queen of over-reacting, 'fainting' and being very shocked and upset at the slightest thing she sees or hears. If not I think she needs to step down and hand over her crown! 👑

Oh is forgotten this one... Kept me company when I'd dislocated my shoulder 😉 Did the passing of Sister Wendy resurrect this?

How did I miss this the first time around? Glorious! I'm shedding a tear here...

Oh I love that this has come back! I always imagine my partner in this situation as emotions of any kind make him really uncomfortable. I just read it to him and he said his response would have been 'fuck this I'm going to the beach'

My daughter is asking what I’m laughing at 🤣

Love this post! So happy every time it pops back up. Wish all other trolls would follow the example of the OP. S/he really is the master of high quality troll content.

Wow. I had heard of this but never read it myself - please keep in classics!

I am also now intrigued by the inheritance thread-please can someone also resurrect!!

Made my day 😂

@leamaria
It's already in classics

Amazing.
