If your potential partner doesn't like you having a safe hobby like chess, RUN! Do not invest or commit to that person. If your hobby is very expensive compared to your wealth or dangerous to your future then my advice does not apply, but otherwise avoid those types of people like the plague. They can only cause you problems later in your life.

So is one supposed to say "check"? I was once playing a casual game and my opponent told me that I had to say "check". Is there such a rule? Do Carlsen et al say "check"?
But if I recall, in the James Bond film From Russia with Love there is a scene where one player says "check".

No, you are not required to say check or checkmate. You are not required to speak at all during a competitive chess game except to indicate when you are adjusting a piece or to offer or accept a draw. You may wish to announce checkmate to spare an opponent who seems to be confused about the result in order to save time.
In amateur chess, any rule could be made ^^

In earlier days you must have said check, and if you were attacking the queen you should say en guard.
Nowadays it is not a requirement anymore, so you play silently till the end of the game. Except by adjusting the pieces (j‘adoube) or offer a draw.
As i learned the rule that you must say check/checkmate, when i am playing otb, i still have this habit.

Famous story about a GM who went to a tournament instead of his honeymoon. Upon return, he found an invitation to another, and since he was already packed, he went. Upon return, he found that his wife was gone.
SEINFIELD!!!! :DDDDDDDDD
