to think my DH is a running bore?

[FitbitAddict]

Desired conversation:
DH: I went for a run today
Me: Ok

Actual conversation:
DH: I went for a really quick 5km round the park at lunchtime
Me: Mmm
DH: Just over 23 minutes, that's not bad, is it?
Me: silence
DH: Here's the lap times
Me: continued silence
DH reels off lap times
DH: Yes, I'm really pleased with that
Me Mmm
DH: It felt really good today

I run too, but I don't even mention it unless specifically asked! DH has to tell me every minute detail of his runs, and that can be as often as 5 times a week

If your spouses bore you all so much, then why did you marry them in the first place?

Perhaps we can blame schools (lighthearted): at school, you have to write about everything you do. I remember the disadvantage of school trips was that we always had to write about them afterwards.

Also, many children are routinely asked by their parents "what did you do at school today?".

Perhaps this is how telling everyone about mundane things becomes established.

Breathtakingly rude for him to say you are just noise when you speak...how dare he say that to you! I wouldn't be paying any attention to his dull as ditchwater running stories anymore

Just stare off into the distance next time and if he says anything say "just noise" and walk away.
Or, provide him with every minute detail of your hobby when he's telling you his times etc.
Petty, me?

I'm a teacher who absolutely hates taking about work outside of school. My Dh likes to tell me every moment of his day....he works in the same school as me! If I don't want to talk about school at home that means I don't want to talk about his experience at school either! So infuriating!!

So you're just noise and he's fascinating? He sounds lovely (as well as boring )

I get it with fishing.
