    I wouldn’t say we speak in people’s faces, but we make comments to each other about random stuff. I would never say something rude about somebody in their faces, but my spouse might go, “Can we go back to the hotel, I really need to take a shit” or something silly and unfiltered like that.

      I get it, I just still think it’s rude and avoid doing so myself.

        It’s rude for spouses to have a private conversation? Would whispering be better? Would it be better if they hid in a cupboard where no one could see them?

          It is rude to intentionally speak in a language that the people around you don’t understand (especially if you’re doing so specifically because they don’t understand it), yes.

          Yes, it’s generally considered rude to switch languages specifically to hide your conversation.

          It’s because most will assume you are doing it to talk shit.

            Sure, if people suddenly switched languages and then laughed in my face, I would feel bad.

            But if it’s like the other comments in this post, and it’s a couple having a quick word about a private matter, I wouldn’t mind. It’s not like I should be a part of that conversation

              Tell me you’re insecure without saying you’re insecure.
