I have recently noticed that DH has this habit of starting a conversation - music, politics, whatever - where it is entirely evident that he doesn’t actually want to converse with me. It’s more, he just wants to talk at me with his opinions and hear himself talk. It started when he’d talk about something that we were both kind of interested in, and has now progressed to “you know such and such?”
Me “no, and I don’t really care.”
He “well, it’s this, it’s entirely ridiculous and means this and anybody who agrees with it is entirely stupid and blah blah blah blah”
I am literally staring into space for ten minutes while he just goes on and on and on with his big opinions. Like, why start a conversation, just go talk to a mirror? Does anyone else’s partner do this, and am I out of order for thinking it’s kind of a wanker thing to do?
