My partner has his own business that has grown quite successful over the past few months, he works solely from home (meets up with clients face to face rarely) and delivers all his services from his laptop/phone. Earns between 3-5k per month atm & has no employees.
Here's the problem: he literally NEVER stops talking about work, 24/7 all he wants to tell me about is what he's doing/clients etc and whilst I love that he's doing so well I sometimes just want a break from work talk! I've suggested before to him 'oh can we talk about something other than work right now?' And he gets moody and says I don't appreciate what he does and it pays all the bills etc. So then to make him happy again I ask him about work.
All the talks we do have that don't start out about work will always end in work, he manages to creep it in somewhere!
Its hard to even get him to want to go out at the weekend, even just for an evening to the cinema or for dinner as he says 'oh I could be working right now' or turns the subject onto work whilst we're out
I'm fucking exhausted, I'm ill today and all I've done is tidy up our home, he went out with the dog for 3hrs this afternoon (and managed to combine with with work calls
) and I had 3hrs peace at home to have a sleep, just woke up as he got in and he's been in and out the bedroom asking me questions about his work and telling me about it. I'm just 'mming' and 'yeah-ing' as a reply at this point as I'm fucking tired but he doesn't get the hint.
For the record I'm currently studying at uni and he NEVER wants to hear about that, never asks me questions, always diverts the convo when I bring it up (which is rare!).
AIBU to not want to talk about work 24/7? He literally works from 9am-2am every day and wakes me up at night coming to bed, it's hard to even entice him to bed early for sex at this point!!
