AIBU about dh

DH is very kind and lovely in general but at the moment hs is driving me mad.

I was made redundant recently and am working hard looking for a new job. DH has basically been a stay at home dad for the last few years (does a bit of design work from home). So we are both at home together more than usual.

What is driving me mad is his constant commentary on what he is doing / has done / plans to do / what work needs doing to the house / what's gone wrong on his computer.

I got back from an interview and the minute I got through the door he started (we had spoken before I got back and he had asked how the interview went). I went up to the loo and a few minutes later he followed me up and carried on with some update on the latest thing that needs replacing at home.
By the time he had finished, including another session in the kitchen I had a headache.

I am sitting on my computer trying to complete an application or update my CV and he just comes in an launches into another long description of his latest computer problem.

How can I ask him nicely to stop doing this. My head hurts!

i think you need to suggest he takes up a hobby or gets a part time job, it seems he only has you for conversation and therefore needs to talk to you all the time. if he got a hobby then he would have someone else to talk to. i think you just need to pretend you are listening for the time being.

He's probably enjoying having you around and doesn't realise he's irritating you. Tell him.
