DH and I have two children, DC1 is 3, DC2 is 1 and I’ve just found out I’m pg #3 (planned and I’m chuffed).
Basically both of us work 30hrs a week and we both have interests that take us out one evening in the week.
We are in the process of selling our house at the moment and planning a move and life is hectic.
DH is quite introvert and I’m extrovert. He is a muser, and I have to talk over things. Whilst we have complemented each other in the past I feel as if this coupled with the general melee of having such a young family means we have absolutely fuck all time ever to just talk.
We have done date nights almost religiously up into this summer when I confess I let them slide as there’s just too much going on.
I want to just talk to him but I feel I’m not listened to and he’s either bored of my chat or on the other hand waiting to take his part in any convo we have (usually boring shit like Brexit at the mo).
The children are struggling to sleep now until almost 8:30 stripping us of 90mins we used to have in the evening.
This busy period will las and it’s not forever but I miss easy conversation and fun with him and each chance I get to talk uninterrupted we just watch tv or discuss something else when I feel like throttling him for seemingly drifting through life like there’s nothing wrong.
if this has happened to you how did you rectify it? I’m not daft, time is not at a premium and we have two small kids but I know what can happen to relationships where comms fail and I don’t want that to happen here (and I know he doesn’t too).
HELP.
