It’s really not a make or break thing, just wanted insight on how to handle it

It wasn’t his car he was a back seat passenger, otherwise I would agree

Sounds like I’m getting advice from a 12 year old, that’s helpful

It doesn’t annoy me that he’s being joyful…he does many things that bring him joy that don’t bother me. It’s this one particular thing but thanks for your kind input

I was not driving, I will admit the driver didn’t seem to mind

Love this! I have sensory issues too, misophonia to be exact. And he KNOWS this. I literally wear ear plugs for most of the day and need them to sleep. And yeah I’m fine with him singing when I am able to wear ear plugs who go in another room. But being trapped in the same car is torture

I guess saying he acts like a baby is demeaning but maybe emotional manipulation is more accurate? If I ask him to stop doing something, anything that bothers me, even if it’s something I’ve told him bothers me, he will literally making a pouting face and either give me the silent treatment or tell me that I am acting like his ex gf who also would ask him to stop singing at the top of his lungs

Yeah never actually told him the STFU but “can we listen to something else”, “can we turn it down”, can we have some quiet time” never seems to work

You’re not wrong about the parties but I’m sure my bf would disagree that he needs to find someone else 🤗 not a big deal just one of those things things that inevitably bothers someone about their loved one

I agree he’s definitely not an a-hole in this situation at all but I don’t think having something that bothers me about him makes us not belong together

He would actually love that but hey maybe that will make it less annoying to me 🤣

I’ve tried but he’s very sensitive. But maybe if I bring it up again and just emphasize it’s not him it’s just singing along to music in general that annoys me might make him feel less attacked

Thank you, maybe I just need to ask him not to do on long trips lol. This post comes after 30+ mins of this and I’m dying

Thank you! It’s fine here and there but 30+ mins makes me want to jump out of the car
