Many couples have completely different interests, and that’s okay!

But what happens when your spouse’s noisy new interest is starting to tick off the whole neighborhood?

If you’re this couple, you get into a whole messy fight about it.

Read on for the whole story!

AITA For Telling My husband He Has To Take The Modifications Out of His Car?

I (36F) am married to (37M).

My husband has an older car that he bought a few months back just for the purpose of changing it.

Those changes were not well received.

I thought he was talking physical appearance.

I don’t know what he added, but that car is now extremely loud.

He mostly drives it when he doesn’t have anywhere to be, and when he doesn’t have anywhere to be, he goes to the gym first thing in the morning.

Beauty sleep is interrupted.

He leaves for the gym at like 7:30, and his car sounds like someone attached a subwoofer to a broken muffler.

Yesterday, I told him he has to get rid of that, or at least find a way to turn it off if there is one.

It’s a nuisance not only to me, but probably to our neighbors too.

She fears the neighbors will be outside with pitchforks before long.

Nobody, and I mean nobody (except the car guys, but no shade to them, you like what you like) wants to hear that.

He can do that on the main road, but not in a neighborhood.

He said that it wasn’t “that loud,” which kind of dismissed my whole point.

AITA? I think I’m right here.

She may just have a point.

Will the good people of Reddit agree?

Even a self-professed “car guy” himself agrees with her.

It’s true – the next door neighbors really don’t want to hear it.

It’s not just about a noisy car – it’s about listening to your partner’s feelings!

It’s perfectly healthy for couples to explore their own separate interests, but sometimes compromises must be made.

Peaceful mornings and respect for their neighbors shouldn’t have to take a backseat.
