Tough Talk: February 20, 2024

Tough Talk,

My wife of twenty + years is a wonderful person.  But since she has retired, she watches moves from the 40s and 50s and sings show tunes non-stop.  She has a great voice and I love her energy, but I really detest and despise this genre of music.  I want her to be happy, but I can’t stand the constant singing.   Please help TT.

(Hillside),

I truly sympathize as I find this music repulsive and disgusting a well.  However, dealing with this problem is a very complex and takes a nuanced response.  I suggest that the next time she pipes up with this nonsense, get a bucket of cold water and dump it on her.  Repeat until she takes the hint. You’ll find this is the best solution to address this issue.
