I don't think iabu but would like your views. Every night dh and I get around one hour together once he's Home from work and I've put dc to bed. Every night he sits in his chair in the living room and uses his personal laptop to read news/do his book keeping/look at football and anything else.
I try to chat to him and tell him about my day/dc/work and ask him how his day was. However, at best he'll glance up and listen, at worst he'll pretty much ignore me or make me feel guilty for distracting him from book keeping etc. I know it's not always work related stuff he's doing, although I understand he needs to work and also enjoys surfing the internet etc, but surely if you only get an hour a day with your partner you should spend some time conversing? when I mentioned to some male work colleagues they laughed and said they do the sameat home, women like to chat and men like to be aalone apparently.
I just wondered if iabu to expect him to want to spend our time focussed on each other or whether it's the normfor men to behave like this?!
