Question about husbands music choice

in Chit-Chat
I normally don't ask opinions about stuff like this from people I don't know but this isn't something I'm willing to talk about with anyone who I know in the real-world. This site is one of the few places where I'm almost positive nobody knows the real-world me.

Anyway....

My husband just purchased two P!nk cd's (he doesn't know I know this). When I asked him what he had ordered he told me some classical guitar cd's. Trust me when I say P!nk is not on his radar of music he listens to (or me), not even close.

So here is the thing. He obviously lied to me about what he purchased. He purchased something very unusual for him. This of course raises all sorts of red flags for me.

Am I just being paranoid? Or does this sound fishy to other people too?

    He lied. I'd want to know why.

    Yeah, I'd be embarrassed about ordering P!nk cds as well....

    You need to ask him otherwise the niggling doubt won't go away and will probably drive you nuts.

    He bought it for his girlfriend, who is much younger than you.

    Aw geez Patti!

    It's a Pink CD! He's probably embarrassed because that isn't exactly "tough guy music." And you say it's not what he normally listens to, so he'd definitely feel embarrassed.

    Relax. He bought some music.

    OR he's using the sweet lyrics of Glitter In The Air to lure girls into backseat car sex. Which do you think is more likely?

    Well you just have to speak to him otherwise you'll drive yourself mad thinking of the reasons behind it.

    By asking him what he ordered, weren't you feigning ignorance? Why didn't you just say, "I noticed you ordered Pink cds." He can explain from there.

    You can write "Pink" and not get in trouble here.

    Never mind, I see the woman's gone lost her mind and changed the spelling.

    She asked how I felt about it. If my husband lied about something he bought, I'd want to know why he lied. If his reply is "I'm embarrassed because it's Pink", then that's fine. But, I'd still want to know why he lied.

    And Windy missed her opportunity here to say that at least the OP has a husband!

    There are only two reasonable explanations:

    He is embarrassed about buying them and didn't want you to know he likes Pink.

    Or he bought them for another woman.

    Wait, I shouldn't rule out the third possibility that he bought them for a man...

    maybe he likes p!nk and is to embarrassed to admit it

    there are tons of songs that come on the radio I crank up i'd never tell anyone about.

    The whole thing seems creepy. You checked up on him to find out what kind of CDs he ordered? What does it frigging matter, unless he is making you listen to music you don't like? So it's sad that he felt like he couldn't be honest with you, but I have to wonder why. Why did he feel like he couldn't be open with you about that? Something is off here, but I don't think it's the fact that your husband apparently likes Pink.

    :laugh: This is my response too. It's just music.

    Geezz...overanalyzing and oddly creepy in my opinion.

    Probably just embarrassed that's all.

    Oh, and FWIW, my BF pretends he doesn't like certain music that he secretly loves. He listens to certain I guess "acceptable" music in front of me and then I'll sometimes accidentally come across something on his MP3 that he would never listen to in front of me or anyone else.

    He loves Lady Gaga, but if you asked him, he would deny it. And I am the only person in the world to whom he will admit he likes to listen to classical music.

    I think if I came out and asked him if he liked Lady Gaga, he would deny it. I only know he has it because I was looking through his playlist for anything I might want to steal for my own.

    How did you come to find out what he ordered?

    Um, I beg to differ. He bought it for his secret daughter whose 11th birthday is next week.
