To have found Anastasia on his history

Whataweirdthing · 22/06/2022 23:37

Going through YouTube history today as trying to find a silly show Dd, 4 was asking for that she’d watched the day before. Saw loads of videos for Anastasia’s music…it was from Dh, alongside some 90’s indie etc.
I've been with him since we were 17 and never once has he mentioned he likes this music.

Aibu to have the ick big time?

YANBU!

Pinklimey · 23/06/2022 07:58

You're basically saying you have a right to control the music your DH likes? Sounds a bit like my knob of an ex.

I'M OUTTA LOVE SET ME FREE (that one?) Absolute banger.

Wisteriaroundthedoor · 23/06/2022 08:02

Honestly when I opened this I thought there must be a porn star called Anastasia.

cant believe how mundane this is,

Coldnoseandtoes · 23/06/2022 08:04

Leave the man alone, we all have our secrets 🤣

balalake · 23/06/2022 08:07

Someone who can actually sing not there just to allegedly look pretty with very little clothes on. I'd be more concerned if it was Little Mix or even the Spice Girls.

FrecklesMalone · 23/06/2022 08:08

I'm with you OP. DH and I have been together 22 years. I caught him playing Genesis (not the old stuff) the other day. We are looking into couple counseling.

DjoChateaux · 23/06/2022 08:15

Ah, a music snob. Explains everything. I thought all the 'I'm too cool' music snobs died out about 10 years ago.

Grow up.

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 23/06/2022 08:15

Haha OP. I would definitely be turned off a bit if DH had been secretly listening to her music 🤣. Proper screecher nails down a blackboard voice. No wonder it's his dirty little secret.

Nietzschethehiker · 23/06/2022 08:34

It is a far bigger Ick trigger to be a music snob and think it's OK to be open about that to be fair. Light hearted or not ....it gives absolute shudders when people describe themselves as that .

It also makes me laugh because music snobs don't realise they are telling on themselves for not understanding cultural impact within music. But hey ho we all have our icks right ?

Brefugee · 23/06/2022 08:36

frankly? it's a bloody relief that even some men will listen to women's music, especially of the more rocky (not that hers is really rock) type.

Don't be a judgypants. At least it's not MilliVanilli

Chaoslatte · 23/06/2022 08:39

Buy him some of those pink sunglasses

Yerroblemom1923 · 23/06/2022 08:39

Anastasia was brilliant! Wonder where she is now....?

turquoisebuttons · 23/06/2022 00:08

What’s wrong with Anastasia?

I opened the thread thinking he was obsessed with the animated film from the 1990s, which would be stranger.

It took me till this comment to realise that wasn't who the OP was talking about

FetchezLaVache · 23/06/2022 08:42

Never has a poster more regretted the decision to leave the word 'lighthearted' out of a thread title or OP! You're now demanding the right to control the music the man listens to, @Whataweirdthing, and he should LTB forthwith before you progress to physical violence! Hmm

demokitty · 23/06/2022 08:42

At least it wasn't The Sugar Babes or Girls Aloud!

CounsellorTroi · 23/06/2022 08:46

I thought from the thread title that he’d discovered he was related to the Russian royal family.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 23/06/2022 08:47

I have a Guilty Pleasures playlist on Spotify, it has Nickleback on it (and Mambo No. 5 and Come on Eileen). You would never guess it to look at me. If I were in your position I would just pretend I'd never seen it. Grin

TitoMojito · 23/06/2022 08:49

Good! Anastacia is great

ShandaLear · 23/06/2022 08:50

Perhaps he’s All Out Of Love 🙌🙌🙌

converseandjeans · 23/06/2022 08:50

Well it seems quite innocent compared to the jerk one I read about earlier where the DH was a member of a website where they all jerk off together online!

Thatswhyimacat · 23/06/2022 08:53

The worst thing any law abiding citizen can be, is a snob. Hideous personality trait. You don't like music if you can only appreciate it if it's cool.

Yousexybugger · 23/06/2022 08:56

Why don't you make him a playlist for a surprise? Natasha Bedingfield, Blu Cantrell, he'll love it!

Nobody's perfect btw, I have a soft spot for a bit of nickelback when nobody is around.

riotlady · 23/06/2022 09:00

Love a bit Anastacia! Left outside alone was a banger

Music snobs just seem like they don’t have very much fun?

WDWY · 23/06/2022 09:16

Hahah this was the equivalent of me discovering Ricky Martin on my DHs YouTube history. Turns he used to dance with his grandparents to Livin La Vida Loca and so it was nostalgia. His family back up his story 😂.
