Many healthy couples have sweet little trinkets, memories or songs to share with one another as a reminder of their relationship. That being said, it’s important to understand the context of such things.

How would you handle your significant other dedicating a song to you that doesn’t exactly mean what they think it means? One guy recently shared an awkward example of this regarding his wife on Reddit. Here’s what he said.

WIBTAH if I point out the actual meaning of my SO’s fave song?

Some songs sound very romantic, until you pay more attention to the lyrics.

My wife doesn’t mind the words too much, especially if a song is not in our mother tongue.

There’s so much more to music than just lyrics.

Many years ago, she mentioned this one song that she was fond of.

She said it made her think of me – cute, I know.

But it was very clear that she didn’t know it was about an ugly divorce.

Yikes, well, it’s the thought that counts?

I just couldn’t bring myself to break it to her.

So, I just nodded and let it rest.

The issue now is that we’re going to a concert of this artist.

Uh-oh. Awkward.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the song came up.

What if she shows everybody around us how oblivious she is, and finds out there and then from other people?

I don’t mind if people take me for an idiot, but I don’t want to see her feelings hurt.

He may be overthinking, but his intentions are pure.

So, Reddit, should I spoil her special feelings connected to this song before we go to the concert?

Or risk a more public disappointment for her, knowing what I know?

These two sound like they have a pretty wholesome relationship.

Let’s see if the Reddit comments could offer any words of wisdom.

The comments immediately jumped to reassure him.

Some people provided examples from their own life.

Others couldn’t contain their curiosity.

One person pointed out the obvious.

And ultimately, some sage wisdom was left behind.

He’s not going to let her face the music.
