Posted here a couple of times & the advice has been brilliant, so here goes.
Been with my DH for 9 years, married 2. He is genuinely lovely, funny and my best friend.
The problem is he perpetually treats everything like a joke - he's constantly joking around to the point we barely have an adult conversation & I end up feeling exhausted, naggy & unlistened to. Does anyone else experience this?
I reach the point of exasperation, get evidently irritated by him & try to explain to him how I feel, but sound like such a bitch & overly critical.
I'm going through a difficult time at work at the moment & we're trying to make some big life decisions (subject of previous posts) but he will always make a joke or gloss over things when I try to talk to him. It's really pushing me away from him & I can feel myself acting cold, which I dont want. When I'm away from him I always resolve to be more positive, but when we see each other I just end up feeling worn down & trivialised. It's really causing a problem now. Has anyone else experienced similar or can advise?
