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.

Investments - I should care, but I find I just really don't.

Oh God I loved loved loved talking with and listening to my wife, even the way she said things sometimes with a little shake of her head or an emphatic smack of her lips and how she would tell me all the background of ongoing stories about work colleagues every time she gave me an update, and I'd always remind her I know which Barbara she is on about, and I'd never be bored with being bored by hearing every detail every time and our conversations were lovely and about all kinds of stuff, she never minded me asking her the names of trees and plants out on walks. I miss it all so so much. She died in July. She and everything she said even the most mundane boring well loved and repeated detail was fantastic.

Just work, really... every night, for at least an hour after he comes home. He’s also the type of person who can’t tell the story unless he includes every minute detail, however irrelevant! 😫 Sometimes we talk about conspiracy theories as we are both interested in those. He does have to listen to me talking about true crime though so I figure we’re even as he isn’t really interested in that but he humours me like I humour him 😄

Very sorry about your wite, joystir59

To be honest @Cherrysoup I really like watching the MotoGP (and Moto2, and Moto3, it does eat your weekend), my issue is that we've had that conversation so many times that I can tell him not only why most people rate Rossi, but why DH specifically thinks he awesome (it's about winning on different bikes), and I was trying to read a book at the time. I'd much rather talk about Rossi than the bloody Tesla though.

@Frlrlrubert I can’t get excited about it, but I’m glad he’s got a hobby, just worried he’s bought a big bike, hope he doesn’t decide to emulate Rossi and co!

Blossomcat regarding names I know an awful lot of Clares. So many that if I mention Clare, I have to add in extra details so I can't say I was talking to Clare at work because there is more than one Clare so dh will ask "Is that Clare with the horse?" And I'll say no, it's Clare who rides the motorbike. Likewise he once referred to one Clare as ' Clare-name of place where she live' for example Clare York. I had to tell him we can't call that Clare Clare York because I actually know a Clare York. It's now a running joke between us.

I have no idea . I stopped listening about 10 years ago . He still chats away though

Cars, the build up to him ordering his next car on lease the year before his lease is up is particularly challenging. Also car sos, always repeats the sob story even though I refuse to watch it.
Work stuff, mostly the way engineering type places and systems work.
WW2, I’ve put a ban on that one. He talks to me like I have no clue about history!
Love him and can I just say we are all lucky to have blokes that love to talk and chat to us. I love being his sounding board. Some friends have blokes that barely talk to them and I would hate that.

Oh God I loved loved loved talking with and listening to my wife, even the way she said things sometimes with a little shake of her head or an emphatic smack of her lips and how she would tell me all the background of ongoing stories about work colleagues every time she gave me an update, and I'd always remind her I know which Barbara she is on about, and I'd never be bored with being bored by hearing every detail every time and our conversations were lovely and about all kinds of stuff, she never minded me asking her the names of trees and plants out on walks.

😕❤️💐

I have to agree with many many PP I am sure my DH finds me talking about my work about which he literally has no idea nor wants to, boring, but tolerates it, although I do keep it short and get rapidly to the point.

And I don't think he is a dull person, he is actually very funny and we laugh alot together.

Guitars, amps, comics, marvel, PlayStation - yawn.

I bore him talking about my industry, particularly the very dry and boring regulations - I bore the arse off anyone who appears to listen 🙈 I am getting much better at catching myself now and stopping!

Cars

Dh is very much into collecting transformers and is in some sort of forum for them and he likes to show me the new ones that he collects and how they "transform" and how they discuss transformer programs that can cross over with another program

I just smile and nod along!

Though i have zero interest but it's nice for him to have a hobby that he clearly and very enthusiastically enjoys

Nuclear power.
Mars helicopters.

I think his worst topic is Businesses He's Never Going to Open.

He'll have some idea for a business and then wants to talk through the details of whatever the product or service is. He wants my opinion on stuff like how to market it, get funding to develop it, etc.

The ideas are usually either something that exists already or something that is impossible to monetize.

So my opinion is generally "too late mate, Amazon, Netflix, Google, etc got there before you" or "I don't think there's any money in it".

But he gets cross if I say that sort of thing so I have to feign interest for a while in discussing pointless hypothetical shit. Generally I cut it short by suddenly really needing to do some urgent hoovering or something.

It's such a waste of energy and headspace and gives me the rage.

I used to have a DH who went on and on and...about cars mostly. Sometimes tanks. Often the detail of his work relationships, whilst having no ability to feign interest in my work. He had no interest in politics, culture, film, the arts, all thing I am interested in.
Now I have a DP who is interested in the same things as me and listens to my stories with (possibly faked...) enthusiasm but sometimes I just get bored with him blathering on. I just tell him "I am bored now, stop", which he takes quite well.

I'm so sorry Joystir but glad you have some lovely memories

Home Brew...I'm teetotal and don't know anything about beer, let alone have any interest in it

Mainly food. He is able to remember in great detail every meal out we have ever had. If we talk about holidays he has no recollection of what we did but remembers all the menu options.

This has reminded me that my husbands photographs every restaurant menu when we're on holiday and he can remember which restaurant we ate at every night as well! He could probably tell you what we both ordered as well. Maybe we're a bit obsessed with food?!

Exh - computer games and sport, he's an ex for a reason!

Dp tries not to bore me but I'm not really interested in plane engines or motor racing

@BogRollBOGOF

Sounds familiar! You have my sympathies at least I can get drunk on the ever flowing wine!
