To want to muzzle DH?

[ColourMeExhausted]

Thanks to the schools now being shut till at least mid January (in Scotland here) and having finished work, with DD's school finishing today at 2.30pm, I have a precious window of a few hours to myself, which will need to last me until...well, whenever the school and nursery reopen and I can take some time off. Spent morning doing Christmas food shop. Now desperate for peace and solitude. DH meant to be working but is instead lolloping around the house like an excitable dog, and keeps coming to talk to me (I'm in the bedroom so not like I'm in his way!) I get that he has no motivation today...but would I BU to tell him to shut the fuck up and leave me alone??

Just tell him you want some time to yourself. My DH had a habbit of constantly asking me inane questions he could work out for himself the second I sat down with a book and cup of tea. He learned to his peril not to disturb me now.

Just tell him. Blimey, i'm assuming you're both adults?

Maybe not a shut the fuck up, but a measured explanation that although you enjoy his company you would appreciate some alone/me time at the moment.

Maybe throw in something about breathing space.

Failing that you need to get your Samuel L Jackson glare on point.

I feel your pain OP.
I've just told dh I'm having 10 minutes peace and he won't shut up.

When we have workmen I advise them to just leave if necessary regardless if dh is chattering mindlessly.
I'm convinced we've paid £100's extra over the years to tradesmen who haven't been left to work in peace and therefore taken longer!

Ha ha I do know i can tell him, sorry, should've said this was light hearted bless him he just gets carried away and wants to chat. Still annoying though...told him I'm closing the door now for the next hour

Didn't mean to enable voting either...

@oreservoir yes DH will chat all day to workmen if he could get away with it...

Eye mask, earplugs, do not disturb sign on the door!
