I'm sorry. You either did not bother to read the thread, or you simply do not understand that being mocked by your partner is not healthy. If he asks what I am reading and then mocks me for it, that isn't really respectful, nor is it in any way asking for any of his interest. Sorry you can't understand that. I was asking for advice on how to communicate that I do not like being put down, mocked or made fun of by my significant other. It's quite simple regardless of the subject matter. I also mentioned how he does talk about his own beliefs, and I do listen when he talks. It goes both ways.
I am not going to hide my spirituality, pretend it doesn't exist, or any other thing that implies that I should be ashamed of my beliefs. I am not going to be in a relationship with someone who does not want to know who I am either. And luckily that is not the case. There is a massive difference between being who you are, and wanting to tell your life partner something interesting you read once in a blue moon, or forcing your self and beliefs upon them or constantly talking about it.. Which is not the case.
I listen to tons of hockey, video game, technology talk from him which are his interests, I will even join him sometimes if he asks, even tho I really don't like hockey or gaming. Relationships are a "two" way street.
I will not reply to more of your comments.
