I feel a bit isolated and frustrated in my marriage. He's a nice person and we get on mostly, but there's no interesting conversation or chatting things through. His brain seems to panic when I want to analyse a situation, or if I disagree and use logic in a discussion then he just gets cross that I've disagreed with him and refuses to speak to me and seems to be incapable of responding calmly. He's not violent at all. Would never be. But I just feel a bit lonely as we seem not to be able to just 'chew the fat' nicely.
He's a good dad. But I feel I'm in that zone where it's not awful enough to leave and upset the kids, and some of the time our relationship is ok (when there are no major decisions to think through or when we aren't spending too much time together).
Does anyone else understand what I'm talking about and have any advice? I acknowledge that it's probably partly me as my day job involves debating and thinking things through logically and he just doesn't need to do that at all.
I do want it to work.
