What does your dh talk about ?

[Frostine]

Today I had a rare morning free to sit and not do much , was on my tablet.
Dh sits down next to me and talks shite !
We live in uk , don't own property in Canada , never been to Canada , and no plans too. His conversation was about Canadian roof trusses , and snow load balance .Probably 20 mins, I continued to look at tablet just umming and ahhing where appropriate.
Next conversation Ram content on pcs , then the rise of prices on copper pipes in the building industry ( not his career )
I'm thinking of giving him the lowdown of yesterday's bike ride to work , or perhaps all about Julie's ( work colleague ) plan for the weekend !

his work, NFL teams but he does leave me alone to watch tv!

We are now into Bitcoin and gold bullion , we don't have either.

Bitcoin, the weather in more detail than the met office, NFL, our energy usage, how he really doesn't want to do (insert anything) & memes he's seen on Instagram.

I feel your pain

Usually he waffles on about people i barely know that he bumped into, new recipes that he saw and wants to try out (then tries to entice me on a journey out to some rare hidden shop to buy a very specific ingredient - I politely decline), sometimes he talks about house/garden plans at which point I will show some interest.
But I can be just as boring to him.
It helps that we are rarely at home together
I do love him but prefer him in small doses

My DH is very quiet. Mostly I don’t mind but sometimes it really bothers me.

Cars
Alaska
Cars
Gold Rush
Cars

Silence again , he's out of the room .

God I wish mine would talk a bit more. To be fair to him he works very long days so is exhausted when he gets home but I’d love a bit more conversation.
We’re also not very equally matched education/intelligence wise and he doesn’t keep up with the news or current affairs so it can be difficult finding things to talk about if we spend a lot of time together like on holiday for example.

Yep wish mine would talk more of the inconsequential stuff as well. Must be fun listening to that. Especially if the speaker knows his stuff. My Dad was like this. Used to talk about anything and everything. I was an impatient teen and used to roll my eyes. But many decades later I find that I remember stuff He used to drone on about.

DH debates politics or current events once in a blue moon. Or passes on a bit of gossip. But otherwise he makes a big show that he is talking and I ought to feel incredibly grateful for the pearls dripping from his mouth

It would be interesting to hear from same sex relationships , Do you have to put up with the same ?

His dislike of the UK in general and our neighbourhood in particular. On and bloody on, apparently endlessly

The weather.
House projects including measurements that I will never remember.
Football.
Coffee.
Everything that I haven't done today. And how much I'm on my phone. Followed by 'can you just Google....?'

What do you talk to him about out of interest?

I may just be incredibly lucky, but why are you with your DP if you hate absolutely everything they talk about…? Do they have some good points too?

House projects and the money to do house projects
Formula 1
Machinery that he uses for his self employed work (hobby)

Dh doesn't talk at me really so I don't get annoyed by one way conversations. I am probably as boring as the men described here: I ask him about my sewing projects, tell him about my hobbies, talk to him about the kids and bore him with the shite I read on here. I hope he doesn't come online to laugh at my dull attempts at conversation.

Pmsl. Nothing. I generally talk at home abd try and force him to respond.

Loads of stuff, but never the gossip He says I’m “people”, and that he can’t go around telling “people” “private stuff”

Otherwise he has a good variety of chat and regularly makes me laugh. You deserve a medal for putting up with Canadian roof trusses chat, though. How on earth did that come up??

Chickens.

We both talk about things we've read in the news, work, the past and future, the kids, our hobbies, just things that have happened in life. DH knows I have zero interest in computers/tech so he mostly confines that talk to his brothers

We talk about work (we both have technical jobs), friends, current affairs, what's on telly, interesting stuff we've read or heard on the radio, the kids, how we're finding life, plans for stuff. There are some things that don't interest me, but I think we probably even each other out on that front 😁

I am glad that Brexit is done and dusted though, we were both Remainers, but it took a while for him to accept the situation so I do not miss the going on about that.

"It would be interesting to hear from same sex relationships , Do you have to put up with the same ?"

@Frostine from the sounds of it me and my DP are more on the same page although there are sometimes repeated topics 😂

Right now topics of interest for DP:
-Gardening / neighbour issues
-AITA from Reddit (similar to AIBU here)
-How great dogs are and how she hates cats 😂

• All and any sorts of gossip even about people she doesn't know
• Topics around social justice / complaining about government
• Korean dramas

Football
Politics
The kids

Cryptocurrencies and global politics mainly. I'm not always that interested but his enthusiasm for things is part of the reason I love him.

Work, especially the politics and the antics of mutual acquaintances
General politics and economics (this drives me mad as our views don't always coincide).
TV programmes we are watching together, usually a mutual bitch as to plot failing (VIGIL I'm thinking of you!)
The kids and what they have done to drive him to distraction or make him laugh.
Loads of stuff really. We always have good conversations and are never at a loss for something to chat about.
