My fiance (30M) bought Meta glasses to wear at home and I (30F) can't get over the feeling of being exposed. How do we resolve this?

My fiance and I have been together for about 6.5 years. We have lived together for a year and just got engaged. He has always been into tech and gadgets and enjoys buying the newest toys on the market. I've benefitted from his enthusiasm and research in picking out my phone, tablet, and smart watch. Clearly, I'm not opposed to tech and engage with it all day every day. I've also always shared as little of my data as possible, opting for the most privacy possible in my settings and resisting some products that don't provide those options. I also have complex feelings about AI and tend to avoid use of generative AI. I live in an area currently battling a massive proposed data center complex that would greatly impact utilities and property value here. I have complex feelings about the impact of AI on children, jobs, and the environment. My fiance knows all of this and we've had extensive arguments about this. On Friday, my fiance informed me he had gotten a new prescription and ordered new glasses. Great! Then he said, "and I also bought something I know you're not going to be a fan of" and he proceeded to tell me he bought prescription Ray Bans with Meta AI. I told him I was deeply uncomfortable with it and he assured me it would mostly be for filming concerts or travel. I told him I did not want them being used in the house. He would have to use regular glasses at home. Well, now he's had a day to set them up and explore all of the features and he wants to wear them all the time. He told me he wouldn't record in the house but I can't shake the feeling that this is a massive invasion of privacy. It's not something I'm comfortable with. I want there to be some space in my life where I feel like I'm not under surveillance. I recognize our phones, laptops, and watches do this but it feels different to be staring into the camera everyday and into the face of AI. His point is that these features will make his life meaningfully easier and that frankly, it's not my place to tell him what glasses he can wear as that is his choice to make. How can I express my concerns or are my concerns irrelevant? What are the real risks here? How do we navigate this while living together to find a compromise? submitted by /u/Vegetable_Menu14 to r/relationship_advice [link] [comments]
