Husband "shushed" me.

Yeah I care extremely little for the opinion of strangers - I’m not a dick, I try to always be kind. But I also just do what I please in most situations without much care about looking weird or what people might think of me. So if a partner is more concerned about what strangers think / feel than they are about how I think / feel, it’s just never gonna be a good match for me. Also I would lose a lot of respect for them to know that they care so much about what ransoms think about them, it just screams insecurity to me.

A recent ex shushed me on more than one occasion, in MY OWN HOUSE, because he was worried the neighbours might hear me. My immediate neighbours were a wood shop (literally using power tools all day), a cafe which was only open during the day (this was at night) and a student house. So all extremely loud neighbours and definitely would not have a problem with me speaking slightly animatedly about something at approx 9pm (if they could even hear me which I strongly doubt). I honestly felt a bit embarrassed for him, I was like you don’t even live here bro, why do you care!? I was not saying anything awful or insulting either, just vibing about bands or something stupid. Cringe.
