What really boring crap does your dh try to talk to you about?

[ArseInTheCoOpWindow]

Yesterday DH tried to talk to me about stationary gas engines. He seemed suprised when l wasn’t interested.

My friend’s bf used to talk to her about overhead haulage systems.

Warhammer 40K and the bloody garden. Glad I'm not the only one being talked at about Warhammer. He's on a Reddit thread about it and it seems to have given him someone else to talk to about it a bit..

Work, sometimes I lose the will to live... nothing remotely interesting happens yet he thinks things are hilarious and worth a share 😩
Also politics when He knows I hate politics, he then gets annoyed if I don’t agree with him.

I bore him with;
Science and complex documentaries of various scientific theory
Astronomy
Large Hadron Collider
Cars
Power Tools (they all belong to me )
DIY
Excel spreadsheets

He bores me with;
People he vaguely knew younger, we met as adults, from different towns, so no clue who these people are and no interest in tasking a neuron to transmit info about them

Genealogy - he's researching his family tree and while some of it is very interesting, and pre-Covid I've enjoyed visiting various parts of the country in search of dead people, I do glaze over a bit when he talks about great-great-great-great whoever (all of whom seemed to be called Joseph or William).
Also, steam trains. But I knew he was into them when we got together many years ago, and love him in spite of it!

His work. Why he hates it. Why everybody is rubbish. Why he’s going to resign. Every.morning . Every tea break. Every lunch hour. Why his parents are rubbish. Why his sister is rubbish.
Help!

Bitcoin and rocket league

I'm lucky with dp. He's very witty and can make the re telling of mundane events very funny.

He occasionally bangs on about music or politics or his job but nothing too bad. Sometimes I get the same story twice.

I would not cope with someone who was humourless or couldn't make conversation. My friend has a gorgeous dh she admits she finds really dull. I often wonder what's going to sustain that relationship into old age once their family has grown.

My Dh likes to look things up. He's the looky up king. It's good that he's so interested in things but...

The other ds showed us an amusing online video of a seagull going into a co op and stealing a sandwich. Dh was immediately speculating about which branch of the co op it might be. Maybe it was Southend because, you know, a seagull. Who fucking cares what branch it was? Way to kill the humour in a mildly entertaining piece of film.

Work
Motorbikes
His ancient dead twice removed relatives in the war
Music his taste

I made the mistake of telling my DH about this thread and that I had no idea what your response meant.

He obviously went on to explain 😣😣[/quote]
Erk!

Politics
Other road users

Now he's just looked up a True Bypass.

Finance. Cryptocurrency. Science "stuff". Technology. Things I consider boring! Having said that, he is super funny and we do also have a lot in common.

Oh and continuity errors in tv/movies!

We have a brand new Lidl, only a fraction further than Waitrose.
He can’t believe the prices and the ‘interesting aisle’. He bought a magnetic shelf thing for tools there the other day. It was only £7.99 he says.

Another favourite is what arseholes the cats are. They are, but he makes me want to defend them.

A couple of years ago a new bi-pass opened, every time he uses it I get a call to tell me how much quicker he did the journey compared to before it opened.
He also tells me who is winning the golf on Tv.

Pension dilemmas
Binoculars

It’s not a long list but believe me it’s enough.

Not my other half but 9yo ds has come very close to boring me into a coma talking about roblox

Electric cars, Elon Musk, graphics cards, more Elon Musk stuff like starlink, space x. If he’s in a bad mood I just get him on the subject of Elon and he’s happy!

@Frlrlrubert I know who Rossi is! The DH has recently re-ignited his interest in bikes and has restored one. I’m a bit amazed at how he’s just watched a video and repaired some serious issues. He’s now watching MotoGP (?) but doesn’t bore me with it. I think I probably bore him with how the horse is etc, he has zero interest in him!

I bang on about relationships with colleagues which he sympathises with. He tells me about his colleagues and how they made a right mess of jobs, I don’t know how he tolerates them sometimes.

Warhammer 40K and the bloody garden. Glad I'm not the only one being talked at about Warhammer. He's on a Reddit thread about it and it seems to have given him someone else to talk to about it a bit..

My DH is on some kind of local FB club for it. Now that it's allowed, he's going to take all his little toys (with hundreds of BITS that get scattered around) to play with his Warhammer friends. And then he will tell me all about the games and how he nearly won x but someone did y and blahblahblahstabsselfwithapencil....

WAVES. Size, steepness, frequency, temperature, busyness. Boards, size, shape, weight, volume. The wind: speed, direction, gustiness, consistency, duration, other incomprehensible made up terms e.g blatting. Sails: size, shape, whether it's broken. Moans about manufacturers. Moans about sponsors. Moans about other people in the water. Contemplates starting own board business. Aaaand let's begin the dance again....

Omg this.

Unfortunately, all the blokes he knows there seem to be called Dave or David

All DPs windsurfing buddies are called Dave, Tim, Matt, Allan, Steve etc and they're all white, fifty and bald. I never have any idea who he's talking about.

DH told me he read on line about a couple that had bought some flooring and underlay from Howdens. They had been supplied the wrong underlay and the floor was not wearing well. He spent an hour talking about who was to blame and how to take it up and refit. I just stared at him and wanted to laugh. I was still in bed and he’d come in especially to tell me about it.
