I have been married for 15 years, my husband has always liked the sound of his own voice but it's getting worse and worse.
He works at home and doesn't see anyone all day and he just talks at me about his work for hours. It's not a conversation, he just literally lectures me. He gets angry if I don't give him my full attention and says I'm being rude. I do honestly zone out for most of it now. It's too much. I have a very busy and responsible job and three young kids, I get so little time to relax anyway - time with my husband shouldn't be dreaded but I do dread it.
I can't ask him how his day was or I know it'll be an hour at least.
Last night I got in from work at 6.30. He talked at me on and off until 8.30 when I finally put a tv program on. I find myself sneaking into the lounge so he doesn't hear me and come and talk at me. I go to bed early just so I don't need to listen and so I get some headspace for myself.
Am i a horrible person? If the kids interrupt his lectures he gets cross. He's always saying that it would be 1 more minute if he wasn't interrupted but that's just not true. It's like he has to verbalise everything. I barely get a chance to talk.
We have many other issues with our relationship but this is killing me.
