Do you have forbidden subjects?
So we don’t talk about work for example because if he talks about his, I show my shock(no words just silence and freeze - I’m well trained see...) when he tells me he lied or did something else I disapprove of and he freaks out and gets really angry about how I know nothing and how I think I’m better than him.
We don’t talk about the metoo stuff going on at the moment cos he thinks the only thing you can talk about on that subject is how guys get shafted when they are unjustly accused.
He’s not allowed to tell me whether he liked dinner cos surprise surprise I get a huffy on when scored 4 out of 10 then he gets really angry cos I’m not allowed to get angry, only he is.
We don’t talk politics of any kind. We cant even discuss our own finances cos he has a horrible investment we are pissing money away On and he shuts me down whenever I mention it. He’ll sell it in ‘6 months’ for 10 years now.
If I disagree with him, he changes the subject. Not subtly, but like ‘oh look, that curtain ring is broken, I’d better go get my tools’.
