I’m 61, husband 64. Had our ups and downs over the years, mostly ups and just get on with married life as a couple not bursting with happiness but not miserable either. Today I popped round to see my elderly neighbour and chatted on the doorstep, her front door faces the back of our house our windows are open. When I got home my husband said why are you telling people our business when we don’t tell people our business? I explained that as part of a wider conversation about not getting AI and technology I had shared something that had happened to me, he said it still didn’t answer the question. To which I replied I didn’t think it was a big deal to talk about. I am now unhappy that I have been pulled up for this, I am not a child and as the young ones would say I feel it’s a red flag. I was quite shocked and I feel that I now have to tackle this but how? Any advice welcome.

To be honest everyone is very tetchy in this heat if was me I'd just ignore it not worth an argument.

When you said you are not “getting” AI and technology do you mean not understanding it?

It depends what experience you shared. Could it have identified you as vulnerable to scams or some other disclosure about your financial business?

I am not asking you to say what it was on a public forum only to think about what it was and whether he might have a point.

If having thought about it, you decide he might have then I agree it's not worth arguing about, just be more discreet in the future.
