My boyfriend tends to speak a little louder than I am comfortable with sometimes, especially in public. Here is a example this one time we were in a museum and he was talking about his interpretation of something and I asked him to speak a bit quieter since for me it felt like he was super loud and echoing everywhere. He got mad and said other people were talking to and then refused to talk to me and walked away. Another time we were in a plane and I asked him to speak a bit quieter and he was like “I’m not talking that loudly” even though the man in front of him turned around 2-3 times because it was obvious he was speaking too loudly and I was mortified. Its hard to go out to dinner with him I have to find a place that is already loud…..The thing is I don’t know if I’m just being too sensitive about it and I don’t know how to ask him to speak quieter without seeming rude or upsetting him? I just say “could you please talk a little quieter”. But he thinks I need to just relax and there’s nothing wrong with speaking in public. I’ve tried talking to him about it other times and basically he feels like I’m interrupting and my feelings aren’t valid and I shouldn’t be telling him how to behave. I think he feels like I’m calling him rude and gets defensive. In my opinion it is rude to talk loudly in these situations but clearly he doesn’t think so and I don’t know if that’s a bridge we can gap! I am wondering if anyone has advice on how to approach this issue? I have to say he is a great guy and I truly love him But he is just to loud!! (email your situation to: listeners@957thebeatfm.com)
