To play the devils advocate here, maybe music man has gotten ridiculed before with this question on his music preference.
When I’m driving by myself, I’ll fire up youtube and listen to all sorts of random stuff. But I’d never subject my wife to it as I know we don’t share interest in some things.
cormBut I bet she shares hers. Speaking from current experience
Just lie then, what’s the point of acting like this
I don’t have an answer for that. I’m not saying he handled it right, just trying to come up with some sort of mindset he may have had to respond like this at all.
I think he was just trying to be coy
Cr4yfishI’d think it would feel bad having to lie about the music you listen to. Maybe music man is already past denial and in acceptance, just not telling anyone.
But perhaps they’re just a douche.
Just lie then
Not an ideal in forming relationships. Honestly, as much of a train wreck as his response was, at least it gave some useful information to the person he would potentially be dating.
driving_croonerPeople don’t respect the Colgate Comedy Hour anymore, this is why we don’t have genius like Paul Bufano or Roy Donkins anymore. Her music collection must be all meat and potatoes.
You’ve presumably had conversations with your wife, though, where you shared, and she wasn’t into it. I dunno, at the least you were, perhaps, honest about not wanting to (or not being comfortable with) sharing.
Furthermore, it’s a song and she asked. No one is being subjected to anything. No one has to listen to the song named, or, if they do, even finish the song.
567PrimeMoverI've had a girl straight up say to me in my car, "your music sucks, can I put mine on?" And I still wouldn't act this way
ivanafterallI'm not saying it's right, but I'd contemplate pushing someone out of the car at that point. Shots fired, Jesus.
Unfortunately I was young, dumb and unlucky in love, so I put up with that BS for way too long. My advice to anyone in that position is definitely don't put up with it because you're worth more than the love these kinds of people give. A healthy relationship is built on mutual love and respect. You need to give it, but you also deserve it in return.
What were you listening to?
I would share my music taste more openly if the opportunity arose, but more often than not, I’m either out of data or the song on YouTube has gone (!)
MarxineMy musical taste is cringe and my spouse has known it since we started dating years ago. Never felt the need to hide it from them. Good partners can respect each other’s preferences, so there’s zero need to hide what you enjoy.
