Husband is awful communicator

I’m not sure I even like my husband anymore. He’s always been a poor communicator but I’m starting to wonder if it’s a control thing? In normal conversation when I’m right next to him he sometimes totally ignores me. I’ve been known to say something 4 times before he’ll respond. I’ve now started to say something once and then say ok I’m not asking again.

Other issues are around his kids my SC. He won’t tell me (out of courtesy) what the plans are. I always have to ask and this is where he doesn’t answer. There’s a million problems with his kids but I’ll get step mum haters so won’t go into that.

We rarely have a conversation, he just isn’t interested, it’s small talk or him being silly. Like singing stupid words to a song over and over .

He’s driving me nuts. I just want a grown up conversation with my husband.

The only thing he’ll talk endlessly about is his hobby and it’s not a shared one.

He’s 40 and I’m 39!

It's hard to imagine how you even got together - let alone got married!
Maybe time for you to have a fortnight away without him, staying with friends or have a holiday on your own if you can afford it. You will get a chance to think away from him.

He wasn’t always like this. I don’t think we’d have lasted long if he was.
