I'll try my best to keep it short although it's a lil long. You may criticize me all you want. We were on a vacation overseas, and while we were walking in a busy area, there's a street musician playing his guitar (you know the ones that you can drop money for them in their guitar case/hats etc), singing to a song that my husband loves. As we walked passed the street musician my husband was singing along to the song, and then he said he wants to go back for a bit to just sing along a little to the song played, at least just vibing to it together with the musician (but not on the main stage of course) So what happened was, I said no. He insist that he won't take long, just until the song is done. I said no and pulled him away. I told him that the street musician is having his moment, and I really believe he shouldn't take the spotlight away from the street musician, and I genuinely believe it's very innapropriate behavior. My husband's aura just changed immediately after. He instantly became so quiet, not showing enough enthusiasm, giving obvious fake smile etc. I asked him what's wrong and why is he so different, but he refuse to answer. The whole vacation, he's just so different after I said no. He only revealed it after we came back home here. So, he told me that he's not mad, he's just really sad and upset over the fact that I wouldn't let him join the street musician and have some happy times. I told him again and again that it's innapropriate, but he said it's not, as he has done that many times before elsewhere and it makes him happy. He then said that it's not the first time I shush him up and not let him have his fun being himself, like how I told him to stop being an annoying loud person in public as people might look at us weird. He argued that the area that he was being a lil loud is already at a loud place (We were at the crowded night market), but, I still insist that it's not appropriate. I'm always very mindful over everything so that no one will look at me weird. But he's the opposite. No he won't go as far as being loud at a quiet place like in public transport or places like library etc of course, but, he doesn't seem to care about what the public thinks of him in general. He said that he knows the right time and place to just be himself. But, I believe we should just be mindful all the time. He's been so distant lately he hasn't been smiling like how he used to. I told this story to my friends, all of them said I'm wrong here. So, was I really wrong?
