Not want to talk when I get home

[popsadaisy]

AIBU to not want to talk to my OH when I get home from work? I have a job which means I talk none stop all day and when I get home the last thing I want to go is talk some more! Is it unreasonable of me to tell my OH not to talk to me on the weekday evenings? We can have a good catch up on the weekend.

A reverse is where someone posts a situation from what they think the other person's perspective is.

I lived with being ignored when one particular ex came home from work. Was awful. Was just past of the abuse.

Not U to need to rest your ears but VU to cut all communication.

I work in HR/Payroll and listen to people's pay queries and I have to solve them on a phone call.

I still talk to my husband and baby when I get home about their day? YABVU

I used to work in a call centre and couldn’t face talking when I got home I needed about an hour to unwind and clear my head each evening I didnt ignore DH until the weekends though that’s just a bit weird imo

Obviously this is unreasonable. Why is this a thread?

Another one here who had decompression time when I was living with my ex. When I used to do an hour's commute by car, that drive home was my decompression time to switch out of work mode, clear my head of stuff, and switch to normal mode. When I only did a 15 minute commute, I needed that extra half an hour when I got through the door. I'd say hello, not just blank them, make a cuppa and sit and read the paper on my own. After that, fine and dandy.

It depends . .

With my ex he would just walk in and prattle on and in and fuckin my in about his day, himself, his work. Him him him basically.

He would never ask about me or want to talk about my day, so I’d go to work and listen to people complain at me all day and come home to him talking about himself all evening, sometimes it would start before I’d even gotten my shoes and coat off if he’d gotten home first.

Used to drive me absolutely nuts, all I wanted was half an hour to just sit and be calm you know, to just decompress and chill without him prattling away.

I don’t think it’s hnreas to want a bit of quiet time or down time when you get in, silence all evening would probably be a little odd though and I’m not sure how you’d manage that 🤣

Unreasonable* ffs 🙃
