DH and I have been together for a total of 14 years and have 3 children.
DH works hard and I am currently a SAHM.
My gripe with DH is that he talks about work constantly and always had.
I've worked and we all talk about work, bitch about our boss, how hard our day was etc but DH goes into ridiculous detail, acronyms and all. I have a blow by blow account of his 8 hour day.
He calls people by name as though I should know exactly who they are and what they do,laughs out load at break downs in procedure like I'm even gonna get it. So every bloody night I feel as if I'm in an office being presented too.
If the phone rings and the caller dares to ask how work is, you can be sure they get a detailed answer so I hear it again and again.
When we have visitors, I'm not being mean, they're eyes glaze.
In the past I have tried to explain to him that the level of detail and jargon he goes into when talking about work is not neccessary as unless one works there you can't possibly appreciate what he's saying. His reaction was of great offence complaining that as his wife he should be able to share his day with me and off load.
So I listen.
I don't even have to speak, just the odd nodd, the odd 'really' or sometimes a 'yeah' and he's happy to talk for hours and I mean hours I am not exagerating.
I feel trapped sometimes, when it gets to 11 I try to excused myself, I wanna go to bed but he keeps going, and my eyes start shutting and he gets pissed off with me.
He started a new job just 3 weeks ago and the detail has started again.
HELP I'M LOSING THE WILL TO LIVE!
