Hope I don't get flamed for this, but I need to get this off my chest and I'd appreciate some helpful advice.
My husband wont stop talking and following me around; it's driving me crazy. He's wittery by nature, but only at home, he's very quiet with the outside world, but then comes home and will not stop talking and gossiping about anything and everything. He literally has no gage and will continue to do so when I'm ill or feeling under the weather, he follows me upstairs, into the bathroom, into the garage and will stand outside shut doors continuing to witter on when I'm trying to get some quiet.
It's become such a problem now that I'm worried about the lack of time and attention I'm giving to my children. When DH is around, he just wants my attention all the time and I try to speak to and communicate with the children but it's as if he competes.
I've now begun taking myself away in another room quite often, but this means me taking myself away from the children regularly to escape his witter.
He asks tons of questions all of the time, interfering questions which often question my ability to do something.
I know people may say I'm not giving him enough of my attention perhaps, but I see these exact traits on his mother. She's the village gossip and once she starts talking there's no getting away from her.
Before people ask me, no DH was not like this before we married, it's something that is worsening with age. I've tried ignoring him, answering sarcastically, giving him my full attention to see if it's stops, but nothing works.
I have no time, attention or mental energy for my children at times, so I need to find a solution. Other than this, DH is a good, loving husband.
