DH is a great husband he helps out loads round the house, does all the cooking, gets up with DS in the mornings etc and is a really lovely person all round... the thing which I am finding REALLY annoying and which is becoming quite a big thing for me is that he just doesn't chat - to either me or anyone, small talk is something I think he has never heard of. It drives me mad, we never really have cosy chats about things and he doesn't tell me what he is thinking about anything unless I really drag it out of him. He is very laid back so he is pretty happy doing most things but I want him to express his opinion more. When we go out socially he tends to just leave it to me to make the conversation and make the evening go well, which i find exhausting and annoying. We went to a wedding recently and he made no effort to chat to anyone or to introduce himself to anyone or basically make any effort to talk to anyone - so I then worry that he comes across to my friends and sulky and not interested, which really isn't the case. I have tried to explain to him the problem and he says that he just doesn't know that he is doing it and if I bring it up at the event he says he then feels like I am watching him and he then can't think of anything to say and i've made him conscious of it......I don't want to always nag at him about it but it's driving me mad. Should I just accept that this is how he is or can you think of anything else I can do??
