I have a lovely DH who gets on really well with my family and friends. I'm somewhat introverted, lean more towards listening than talking and have struggled with social anxiety, so I'm not sure if this is colouring my perception of things, but I've felt on many occasions that DH talks way too much in social situations.
An example is a recent family gathering with my siblings and their partners. My BIL asks DH 'How's work going?'. If it were me I'd answer in a line or two and then ask how work is going for the other person. But DH starts on a spiel about his manager and his current gripes with them and goes into some detail about his frustrations with procurement, setting out each step of the procurement process and how long it's taking. I feel like he goes into a lot of detail when asked fairly generic questions like this or when telling a story and I find myself getting embarrassed and wondering if the other person is really bored. I also notice that if there's a lull in conversation he's usually the one to try and fill it and he sometimes interrupts people when they're talking.
I don't know if I'm just hyper-aware of these behaviours because of my own personality or if these behaviours are actually a problem. I have told him on a few occasions that I think he's been talking more than anyone else and he's agreed, but then nothing changes. Obviously he's his own person but I find myself getting self-conscious by extension and even trying to reroute the conversation by asking someone else a question when I feel he's been going on for too long!
Is this a me problem, and if not, how can I address it? He's a lovely person and as far as I know, my family and friends all like him but my dad did mention once (when they first met) that he talks a lot!
