anyone work with their dh/dp?

[CappuScreamO]

on these lovely nights when you get together with a nice bottle of wine, as of course we all have to do to Keep Our Marriage Alive, how do you not start talking about work?

(dh is very focussed on work atm)

I work at the same place as dp but not with him and we know a lot of the same people.
It always come up in conversation even when ive said i dont want to hear about anything thats been happening ( ive just started my Maternity Leave and dont want to be reminded of the place)

have similar problem. trying not to talk about work and kids. then i just think, talk it out so there's nothing left to say, surely then we can think of something else??? we get there after a couple of hours.

I'm on the same college course as dh. Once we went out for a meal and spent 2.5 hours talking about different theories of the theology of the church. After that, we set some boundaries!

mmm maybe yes we need boundaries - what kind did you set harrisey?

dh is at his busiest at present and it is so hard for him to switch off

I think it is 'okay' for him to do this he thinks because we both have the same commitments

but I think it just makes him more stressed and that's harder on us
