Going through a really rocky patch in my LTR. Been together for a decade, no DCs but mortgage and two dogs. Both 33yo and good careers etc so no money worries. Were planning a wedding but have taken a step back from that while we figure out this crisis.
Everything should be ok. Nice home, financially secure, he's hard working and honest. Does his share of housework. But lately I just feel like we're so different. He doesn't have much to say anymore. Never does anything in his own time other than go to the gym. Doesn't see friends. He's also totally stopped making conversation. Some days he's ok and makes an effort. Other days not. Usually he's ok when it's just the two of us but often when in company he just doesn't say anything. We were with friends over the hols and he just didn't make conversation and took himself off to bed really early. He's also started asking lots of questions - the usual 'where's this' or 'what are we doing today/tonight/eating for tea' etc. But now also more questions when people are talking or watching things on tv like 'what's does 'X' mean' or repeating things or asking about things we've already discussed - but it's so often it's starting to concern me and irritate me in equal measure. Constantly having to explain things or help him understand or keep up with conversation. I don't remember him always being this way but I think maybe while I've changed into my 30s, he's still 25. He often says or does things that come across as immature and really doesn't seem to care about how hard work he is.
Anyone else go through a period of time where their OH really irriatated them and if so, what did you do?
I don't want to nag him or moan, I don't even know why I'm posting this, just needed to vent as he's driving me mad! Even as I'm writing this he's at it again - asking me questions about a new gadget he bought - why am I expected to be the fountain of all knowledge all of the time?!
