Do you discuss investments with your SO?

Hi all. Newly married here, and my husband is seriously into the stock market. I have more of a science/medical background, so I don't completely grasp or understand how our investments work. Husband is knowledgeable and works in the finance field.
Lately, I have been worried about our investments. All I know is he has short positions on tesla and netflix, and that isn't doing so well right now. When it has come up with his friend who does this for a living, he jokes about how sketchy and risky my husband is with his positions.
He will not talk to me in detail about it, and I have no idea how much money we have lost, or potentially could lose. A couple of months ago, he said we lost about 100k, but we made some or most of that back. I just feel lost since I am not knowledgeable in this subject. He also covers most of our expenses, so I don't know if it's justified for me to stay out of it. We do well with our salary income, but I still feel like I should know what's going on with our money. Anyway, I am asking you all how can I get him to talk to me about our investments, or what kind of questions I can ask to have a more clear gauge on where we are financially. Any tips on how to approach this subject with him, or what works with your marriage of this topic, would be greatly appreciated.
