To want conversation from my DH

I ask him something and either get no reply or "what".
He doesn't listen!
I have no adult company all day so it would be nice to talk to him when he is home. It's just like he's not interested!
Some times he just falls asleep in the chair.

Don't get me wrong I do love him. We have been together for 18 years.
Maybe this is what happens when you get comfy with someone????

Please tell me this is men in general and not just mine.

Well...

Have you told HIM that, rather than us? Grin

Maybe he is tired after working and doesn't want to talk about the kids or what you have done all day if its the same day in day out.

Try talking about current affairs, whats on the news etc.,

I have told him before.
Maybe you are right that he is tired but it seems to be similar at the weekends.

I just wanted to know if other people had a similar problem?

Maybe I should have posted in the relationships topic?

Does he ever talk?

I could see being tired when he comes home from work and maybe not feeling very chatty. But if he's always like this, that sounds pretty miserable.

Probably a lot of couples get like this eventually, but I know I wouldn't be happy with it.

I could have written the OP.

Familiarity breeds contempt its what happens when you get comfortable with someone you cease to make an effort.

missorinoco · 14/12/2011 22:04

YABU. Mine doesn't talk, why should anyone elses?

Occasionally I have both sides of the conversation for us.

Kayano · 14/12/2011 22:05

I have 'Kayano' days...

Blush yes really.
Where DH has to spend the evening with me with no PC. We chat, watch tv together, sometimes go out etc

Can you arrange something like that? Set some time aside
For just the two of you

hiccymapops · 14/12/2011 22:10

My dh is just like that. Give him a kick up the bum if it really is bothering you (sometimes it's worse when mine does speak, god he can be boring! Grin)
