My husband can't hold a conversation. He's never been able to. On our honeymoon he was "too tired" to talk to me. He got annoyed when I asked why he wasn't talking to me but it's just his way, he couldn't understand why I was upset and why I thought he was ignoring me.
16 years on it hasn't improved and I'm so lonely. I'm depressed, I have very negative thoughts and I'm constantly frustrated by the conversations I start that never go anywhere. I follow him round the house sometimes finishing the conversation for him! I sometimes say "what do you think?" after I start a conversation. Could be anything - polar bears, dinner, something on the telly! He says he loves me but it seems the only thing he's interested in from me is sex! We don't talk about important issues either, we lost a baby to an ectopic pregnancy many years ago and didn't discuss it. I kept it all in, I didn't want to go on about how I was feeling because I felt like I was being difficult.
Has anyone else been in this situation? I don't think he can change, I don't think he sees things the way I do. I want to travel and explore, I want to take our children on exciting trips abroad but he's not interested. I love him but I'm terrified we're just not compatible. We have such different views on life and the world.
