How much attention/enthusiasm would you give?

[Littletonone19]

If your partner was telling you about his work colleagues (who you have never met) on a night out (which he didn’t go on) when you know if the tables were turned he would have absolutely no interest.

Honestly, very little. Why are you questioning how you should act?

I like DH gossiping, so I'd feign it for these stories but then when he talks about people we know he'll give me the goss from the male side and I'll likely get it from the other, then I can mentally compare notes

@Windmillwhirl because I’m wondering if i’m being a bitch by not really giving a shit & whether I should be treat it as I would like to be treated in that situation.

@HB2019 hmm he never has goss about people we know 🙈

I don't think it makes you a bitch. I wouldn't ignore anyone speaking to me, but I wouldn't feign interest beyond politeness.

Just feign interest you never know you might need it sometime! If you say anything you'll never get the goss you need. My DH never gave me any gossip and I discovered one of his colleagues wives had left him who I knew but I didn't find out for two years!
