These are some things my husband does which annoy me -
- If I am telling him something that has happened, he says, “Darling, could you skip to the point of this story” - (ie. he wants the conclusion of the story in bullet points).
- Sometimes when I’m talking he holds his palm up to me as if to say “stop” or “pause.” Then he asks a question which is too pre-emptive or kind of missing the point.
- If I am on the phone he will think nothing of interrupting the call with whatever he needs to tell me at that moment.
By the way, I am not a waffler. I would never interrupt him in the phone (heaven forbid - he is a workaholic and on the phone constantly). Also, when he is talking to me, I only have to so much as glance away and he says I’m not listening and gets annoyed!
Basically this is getting in my nerves because I experience this aspect of him as very dogmatic. I have tried to tell him that sometimes the point if a story is not what happens in the end, but how it happens. I’m not sure he gets this. AIBU and what would you say?
