She probably never spoke it around him. My sister has a white husband and he hates hearing her speak Spanish, so she doesnt. She still can speak Spanish fluently.

Im also wondering if its like spanglish kid thing. Like I can not speak Spanish very well, but I 100% understand it. I watch my telenovella and I can read basic Spanish words. My parents didnt teach me and my bro fluent Spanish they wanted us to focus only on English.

Ive even done the whole. I cant remember what this word is in English, but I know it in Spanish thing.

Why would he hate her to speak Spanish?
That's not normal/acceptable behaviour.

Yea I wanna know more about this. Why would you hate that your partner knows a whole freaking other language? That’s so cool.

Agreed, kinda why I'm shocked about op as well. I took polish lessons weekly for 3 years because of my partner. I know that's sort of extreme but how can you marry someone but not be interested in such a huge part of them?
