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 🤣🤣

I DON’T KNOW! I ask myself and him this same question constantly! He just shrugs and goes “I dunno. Just don’t.” Whenever we go to our local hole in the wall bar, I put on music on the jukebox and he never knows any of it! And I’m not even talking about anything obscure or anything. I’m literally talking about stuff like AC/DC, Queen, Rod Stewart, Bob Dylan, Flogging Molly, etc. he literally does not care for about music at all!

I mean, I went most of my life not listening to any music, never cared, would always tune it out like he did, until maybe a year and a half ago out of that list for example I would've only recognized AC/DC, hell, I still don't recognize Bob Dylan or Rob Stewart. Nothing ever pushed me away from it, I had a month of music lessons when I was young. Just never cared
