when I say that personally

I don't agree with religious schools?

Out with DH and friends today for lunch. Got onto a discussion about schools. Our friends don't have kids yet. He said he'd said them to a religious school, she said no and I said I wouldn't either.

DH thinks I was being offensive and in effect told me to keep quiet. I think I was just having an opinion. I'm starting to think I should just keep my mouth shut and agree with whatever DH says in public. It's ridiculous.

of course YANBU, you were chatting with friends why the hell wouldn't you put your opinion across? DH bein ga cock

Is this about not agreeing with religious schools or dh thinking it's offensive to voice such opinions in public?

Do not keep your mouth shut and just agree with your DH in public unless you want to stop being your own person.

DH doesn't agree with religious schools either! It's the putting across of the opinion, I think. I just tried to tackle him about it and he got annoyed with me!

Our friend was saying that religious schools generally are of a high standard that was why he'd send his kids there. I asked if he'd still send his kids there if there was a comp that had received OFSTED outstanding too. Friend said no. DH was glaring at me at this point.

I don't get it!

YANBU. I think religious schools are a disgrace.

YANBU, on either count. Mind you, my very reasonable DP once had a 'I can't believe you just said that' moment with me because I asked a Christian fundamentalist colleague whether he was going to be very busy with church stuff over Easter, so clearly religion as a whole is an area fraught with randomness.

Maybe your DH saw it as you getting involved in a another couple's domestic argumenr if they were disagreeing.

I think your H is being totally unreasonable actually, he has no right to tell you what you can and can't talk about or whether or not you can voice your opinion in public, that is ridiculously controling behaviour and just because you are married to him doesn't give him any right to start dictating how you behave or talk in public.

You are free to make your own decisions about what you do and don't discuss with other people in public, if he has a problem with it then that's his problem which he needs to deal with and get over. No way would I accept someone else telling me what I could and could not talk about

There was no dispute. It was just a normal conversation that most people are capable of having about various stuff.

I think you're right, OverMyDeadBody.

Then he's being a bit odd.
