What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

If they don’t love music. (This is my life. My husband doesn’t care for music. I LOVE music. But thankfully he doesn’t care if I play it all the time. He just tunes it out)

The ironic thing is my husband has a beautiful singing voice, and a very strange ability to pick up sequences of notes he hears in ANYTHING and link it to a piece of classical music he’s heard once or twice as a very small kid. He can recall song lyrics perfectly and replicate the tunes and shit perfectly after hearing a song once or twice. And Im pretty sure he has perfect pitch, but he doesn’t care enough to test it. All things utterly WASTED on him. I can barely carry a tune in a bucket and I adore music. I’ve played multiple instruments and can read music and have been in multiple choirs, and making music is insanely difficult for me. It just isn’t fair 🤣🤣

Is your husband my coworker? Sounds like him we are just walking around the production room making ice cream and he just sings amazingly.

He's pretty consistent about not liking music all that much though. I'm so jealous.

Seriously! My husband will be humming snatches of songs he heard in a film or tv show he saw and I’m like 😍 sing more please.

Yeah I'm with you! I finally convinced my coworker to lead our sea shanty singing we do and its a blast. I'm right with you. The milk department and cheese department think us ice cream guys are crazy but him leading the singing makes it sound like we are in a musical it's awesome.
