in not wanting to hear about his weekend away?

[slightlymad72]

DH has had his annual weekend away.

He has returned from a bike rally in North Wales. The basis of the weekend is to ride on your bike, in the cold wind and rain, for hours, pitch a tent in a field, get very drunk then collapse preferably in the tent. Pack up and ride home.
Its the same every year and every year when he has come home he has told the same stories, up to now I have had 3 hrs of endless rally babble, seen all the photos, looked at his hat and his badge. I have even had to give the manky stinky git a kiss, yuck yuck.
Is this going above and beyond the call of duty of a wife? and how the hell do I get him to shut up?

Home by 5. Hardly a weekend

Send him back out for a few more hours

He's been a Clever Boy, and he wants you to know it !! If you find a way of shutting him up about Man Stuff, please let me know!!

smile & nod usually works

YABU. He sounds like he's had a really enjoyable break away, and wants to share it with you. Would it kill you to feign interest while nibbling chocolate or a /sipping / etc? Or do you not expect him to feign interest in the retelling of your experiences/daily points of interest?

I have given him a job to do, he's cooking, which leaves me free to hide in the living room. I don't know how long I will get away with it though.

Yep it would, kill me that is! Glass of wine sounds good though, it should numb the pain after about 2 bottles.

Nod and smile, do the dutiful wife thing then leave it be. YABU.

Go with him, rally's are a blast!

Go out for a few hours

Aww I feel really sorry for him! He cycled all that way and then you mad him cook? I would have sent him off for a nice long soak in a Radox bath and maybe taken him up a glass of wine while he was in there.
