I Am In a Taken In Hand Relationship

Nervous Laughter... Am I the only 1 who laughs when I am nervous? I laughed when I am uncomfortable, when I am mad, When I want to say something really rude. I think it is just my of protecting my emotions.

I do not mind doing this with other people. Because in a way it can call me down. But, with my husband I feel like I am being rude and disrespectful. He will tell me to calm down. And I will get a nervous laughter going or start to chuckle and he will just look at me. Then I will say stop looking at me like that. I get very very uncomfortable.

I want so badly to submit to him whenever he tells me too. Even when he tells me to just breathe. I should be able to say okay sit back take a few breaths smile be happy again. But when my mood is spiraling, I just look at him and laugh. He knows I am NOT laughing at him. I normally say I hate being a nervous laughter. He never says anything about it. He just looks at me and tells me to calm down.

I am contemplating asking him to help me with this. But only when I do it to him. Because I have found in some situations with other people it actually does calm me down after a minute.

Is anyone else like this? Do you think I should ask him to help me with this? Do you also think this is disrespectful?

I don't know. I just wish I could say yes sir or yes and sit a minute and think. But I don't. The only thing he has said it is do you need to go sit in time out for a. minute?

One of my girls has this. When she is in trouble she has a nervous laugh. She doesn't think it is funny, she is just nervous.

Im not intending to be disrespectful. I just feel like it looks that way. And its a quality about myself I do not like. And is something that can be changed. If your really dissapointed in your "girl" and she's laughing as your being serious. That dosnt annoy you?
MasterLee
Different kind of laugh and I know why she is doing it so the context is important.

Hm ok. Well I don't know if this bothers him. I havnt asked.

Yep, that nervous laugh can really be annoying. I do it too and like you I don't know why I react this way. Sometimes it bothers me but I try not to let it too much, we all react differently after all.

Yes. The other day I did it while just talking with him. And instead of ignoring it he told me to stop laughing. I looked down at the floor so I could control it. But my issue is laughing when im looking at him. But he lifted.my chin and made me look at him. I love when he lifts my chin so im hoping that will be enough to calm me. Its amazing how his stern voice does me in.
ACuriousStudent
Oh I totally understand this too! It's amazing how little it takes to set me off and how a stern, calm voice can set me back on an even keel. Except for those lovely little tingles of course! lol ;-)

I'm with Master Lee on this, I don't think it should be something to worry about but if it bothers you, speak to your husband about it. :o)

Thank you. I asked him to read this story. He did. He said it dosnt bother him because he knows its how I cope. He said there were only a few times it seems disrespectful. And if I want to work on it we can do that. Ill keep yas posted on it goes.

Oh your are not alone. (I giggled like an idiot through my entire wedding.) If I am able to control it I keep smirking. I hate that! I fight it. The only thing that half way works is to remember to breath. In through the nose out through the mouth. Deep and slow.
If you find a cure for this giggling mental illness you are obligated to share it with the rest of us who are inflicted with it. Hugs

I have always loved that movie. I own it and will still sit and watch it on tv commercials and all just because it is on.
