Sat here in tears.
I'm probably being overly emotional, but I'm utterly fed up of DHs company. We are both teachers with busy schedules, have 2 young children and by the time we've finally got DCs in bed and done an hour or so of work in the evenings, we're left with each other's company which I want to enjoy.
But, I'm so disappointed by it. There's no intimacy, no cuddling, no discussion about us or family plans for the future. DH just wants to talk my ear off about other people the whole time and their lives. I'm not in the least bit interested about all these people I barely know, but when I do respond and contribute to the conversation, he starts messing with his phone or becomes distracted by something else. I'm sick of being talked at.
This evening, he's been blatantly rude. Told me about his friends parents, I've then responded and as I'm talking, he's pulled his phone out and is scrolling social media. I've pointed this out to him and found myself getting surprisingly tearful. He has become defensive and offered no apology. I've then asked him to go into another room as a result, telling him I don't want his company and would rather sit alone with my book/ my thoughts.
He's gone out for a walk.
I feel like I never get the opportunity to express myself to him, not even about stuff that frankly, I couldn't care less about. What a shit state of affairs.
