“my boyfriend sucks at singing. every time we are in the car he sings his heart out and I can’t enjoy any music…ever. on the other hand, I am a vocal major at school and I need my music. its super important to me to be able to listen to a wide variety of music, especially in the car! yet, my boyfriend only lets us listen to songs he knows so he can sing along. I CANT DEAL WITH THIS but I can’t very well ask him to shut the heck up. HELP ME PLEASE”

omg… this is the worst thing on the face of the planet earth. I have 100% been in a car with someone for longs spans of time who would look me in the eye to harmonize and i’m like ‘gurl, you are FUH-LAT’ and it pissed me off. 

I think you should make it not about him singing and more about you listening to music you like. Make a deal with him where you’re like ‘for every 5 songs you pick, i get to listen to 1 song iiiiiii pick??’ tell him exactly what you told us about how you need to incorporate different genres into your listening and if HE REALLY LOVED YOU, he would let you just listen to a few per day. When he finally agrees make sure to pick songs he doesn’t know and sing at the top of your lungs. 

Also, find a way for him to never see this post…

Oooookay, listen. Here are some things I think:

1. You need to have a conversation about listening to music that you both would like to listen to —- and I agree with Dannielle on this: yes, you can listen to your own music on your own time sometimes but, like, BOYFRAN needs to allow some new music into his life from time to time. Tell him I said so.

2. My favorite pastime is singing really loudly in the car to music that I love and know (most of) the lyrics…and I am certainly not a good singer. For me (and prolly for BOYFRAN), it’s not about the fact that I am singing perfectly, it’s about the fact that I am having a total B-L-A-S-T. So, I think that somehow there needs to be room in your heart for you to be like, “Omg, BOYFRAN, you are the worrrsssst singer HAHAHA I LOVE YOU.” You know? Let him dance and sing like a total goon and dance and sing like a total goon with him… throw the vocal studies to the wind sometimes, eh?

The bottom line here is COMPROMISE, folks. You can’t aways be letting him scream-sing to One Direction, but you can find a middle ground where on Thursdays you get control of the radio and on Tuesdays you have a sing-a-long together, despite the cracking glass and horror of all the ears around you…
