To want to pitch DH head first into the sea

[BuggerMyOldBoots]

I love him dearly, but oh my good fucking fuck

I have been out since half six this morning. I got home at 8. I have had a shitty day for a variety of reasons and I am exhausted. Tomorrow I have to get up and do it all again.

DH was home hours ago, and fair play, house is OK and dinner is handed to me. I haven't eaten since twelve, so I'm shovelling in lasagne, when he starts with the questions

• When does your mum want to borrow that table, are you going to take it round on Monday morning or should we do it sooner, I'm not sure if it will fit in the car, have you tried it, do you know how it folds down, if I get it down tomorrow morning you could take it on your way to...

JUST SHUT UP. I can barely think straight I am so tired and you want me to organise some fucking tiny issue RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.

I told him quite sharply that I really cba discussing it now, and he's all hurt.

He does this ALLLLLL THE TIME

I sympathise. My ex never shut up. Ever. I used to look at him and think "Doesn't your jaw actually ache?" Because my ears are fucking bleeding....

My DS is like this. Actually now I think about it, so is DH. I am currently enjoying the silence that is DH out and DS asleep.

urm, the Walking Dead is amazing YABU ;)

I do this - because all day I have been progressing 178 tedious logistical tasks in my head and on 27 of them I am stalled because they require input from DH. As soon as I have that input, I can actually relax instead of maintaining all my "ask about these points" list in my head.

I'm in total agreement with the majority here. Some people just won't shut the fuck up & then turn it & say you're being rude & uninterested. You can't bloody win

Luckily my dh likes silence just as much as I do. We rarely talk and we love it His dm on the otherhand just fucking talks constantly, and not in a conversation type way, but just talks at you constantly. It's fucking tiring.

Omg, is this you, honey?! Posting on mumsnet in disguise? Cos my mum is just like this and it drives me fucking mental, talking bollocks about absolutely anything, can't have silence, has to fill every second with shite about nothing. Drives me absolutely nuts. DH and I are happy with silence, takes a few drinks to make us chatty.

I love peace and quiet . I can totally sympathise.

Most of my family are the same. DD3 used to be the exception to that, apparently unable to comprehend that you couldn't possibly be alive if you weren't constantly waffling on about some drivel or another. Even she has calmed down a lot now.

Erm, I think I do this to my DH too.

slinks away looking sheepish

I hear you!

I get talked at all the time ffs. Minute detail into the bargain. Like a list of every food item available at a buffet he attended.

I am quite quiet generally and it used to annoy me when he'd ask eleventy billion times of an evening "are you ok" yes I bloody well am. PA nonsense it was.

I can't cope with the pressure!!!

Oh bugger you are me except I work from home, he's been sick and I've had it all bastarding day for a week. Fuck knows how I've got any work done.

The trick is to hear a few words of every sentence and respond accordingly with a yes, no or humm.

For example right now he just said something about if her was a sniper (watching some war bollocks)....blah, blah, not a clue what he said next. My response was mmmm...yeah.

Its 95% full proof

I knew of a couple - her: chatty, banal, inane stuff. Him: quiet, pensive, intolerant to this 'crap'. Before they got married, he said to her ' I cannot bear your incessant waffling any more. If this is going to work, it had better stop now'. It stopped, immdediately.
