We have a simple home(1 floor. 1bath. 2rooms) We live in a calm neighborhood, we don’t own extremely expensive things. And he wants a camera inside our home? For what? This camera can also record audio. We have a child together, we work and we come home. Why do we neeed a camera inside? I feel like it’s an invasion of privacy! I love being silly inside our home. I love yelling. I love singing annoyingly when I’m alone. Should I feel disrespected? Should he feel disrespected? He’s bringing out the “what do you have to hide card”.

Who are we to tell you if you should or shouldn't be. Ask your husband if you should be offended.

Have the uncomfortable conversation. If you guys can't have a conversation about it then the camera is the least of your problems.

And yeah I know people change in a marriage I've been married for 15 years and we still change. But God damn it if I don't talk about it to her. Let's get this straight, if you're doing something I have a problem with, I'm coming straight to you and we're going to hash it out. I'm not going to my friends about it unless I want validation and I'm certainly not going to strangers.
