We chatted for a bit and went our separate ways. Afterwards I said to my fiance, “wow, I can’t believe that guy.” And he responded, “oh, that just just a normal guy conversation,” as if I was complaining about talking about my truck. Features/availablity, stuff like that.
I told him, “I don’t think you caught what just happened,” he asked what he missed. I told him, the man didn’t look at me once. The few times he responded to what I said he looked directly at my fiance and responded as if he had spoken my words. I’m a little surprised my fiance didn’t realize I wasn’t being included in the conversation at all. This is my new truck and he’s only been excited about it because I’m excited. And here he is talking to this stranger in the parking lot about my truck and not even including me in the conversation. We were standing in a triangle formation, so its not like I was behind him or anything.
It’s just an odd thing that happened today and I’m not really sure how to talk to him about it. Like, what my actionable request would be for him. He didn’t even realize I was being completely ignored.

Ngl, I’d be annoyed that he never told the guy it was your truck.
Hey, you may not notice this but it matters to me. If someone is talking about a topic that is really my area, I’d like it if you’d stick up for me with them by saying, ” you should talk to my fiancee; it’s her truck.”
How did he react when you pointed it out to him?
He should have said that it’s your truck, and then shut up unless it was to emphasize what you were saying.
I’d ask my boyfriend to read more about women’s discrimination.
I’d be so proud to say. “Actually, it’s my fiancée’s truck”
