Why couldn't I stop laughing?

[Anonymous]

we were watching just go with it and my boyfriend tells me he may not want to take me to the movies if I laughed this loud (he was joking of course) but I took it badly and started to cover my mouth and giggled inside a little... the held in laughs started to hurt and I started crying so bad... and I kept thinking how he said he hated people who did that and I thought he hated me for that and I felt so sad... when I didn't talk to him for a while he got worried... I pushed him away and he tried tickling me. didn't work... he saw what I was doing and told me to laugh out loud if I wanted and I couldn't stop! I was still crying in between breaths and he said he was sorry a lot that he didn't mean it that way and was sorry... I couldn't stop laughing though... my mom told me to shut up and I had to cry/laugh in my room for a couple minutes before I stopped laughing. I still let out small giggles at weird moments... why couldn't I stop laughing... is there a special condition or syndrome for this?

All laughter is unconscious. You do not chose to laugh the way you chose to speak. And this could actually be a neurological problem. Does this happen to you a lot? If so check out it out with your Dr. I am not trying to freak you out lol my friend did this a lot and he had a hard time breathing because of it. Who knows it could be Slap happiness :)

P.S the whole pushing him away was just you being self-conscious don't worry about it I'm sure he will get over it

Because you don't know how to restrain your laughs, apparently.

It's learnable. You did quite the drama around it, though. I don't think pushing him away and being hurt over a joke was truly necessary.

Yes, it's called being female. It's instinctual, when a man tries to dictate to us how to behave, we automatically want to do the opposite. Good for you.

Well that is quite far the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

You say that as though your opinion matters. You have a d***, know your place.

Men are the same way

but I didn't start laughing super loud until after he told me he was joking and he was sorry... I am just wondering why it was so hard to stop letting out the held in laughs

I am sorry but your boyfriend sounds like a douchebag. End of story!

Sometimes we just get a case of the giggles where we can't stop, It happened to me last night.
