[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm this wife... I hate the crowds at the end of events. FWIW, I do this at the concerts I have picked out and events I want to go to, barring play off games or something really spectacular. I just have anxiety in really large crowds. I try to respect my husband and if the game is tight we stay and stand in the aisle behind all the seats in our section. If it's a landslide we basically do the same thing, but creep closer to the exit and watch the TVs in the concourses. I am much better after my husband had a conversation with me about being a Debbie Downer at ball games. Now I try to get into it and he brings me a bag of peanuts to keep me occupied. Ha! [/quote]

Why the hell don't you just leave early, or not go? Do you have anxiety about being alone, or going home alone too? If so, maybe therapy and meds would help?[/quote]

Well, I like going and I also want to stay so my husband enjoys as much of it as possible. I do not have anxiety about being home alone or walking alone. I don't need therapy or meds. I just hate feeling like cattle walking in a mass of people to the train after a game. I prefer to jump the gun a bit and not feel like I'm in a mosh pit.[/quote]

Then why not stay until after the crowds have mostly left and thinned so your husband can see the end of games? I get that you don't care if you see the end but to most sports fans, the end is important. Since he caters to you, you don't see any impact of your anxiety on others, but it is actually impacting him and his enjoyment of the game. That is where meds could help - so it isn't always about you and your anxiety.[/quote]
