Explain to me one thing please?

[Country girl]

I do not talk about it and that is the way my wife wants it.

So can not relate to you question.

But we both are under a lot of stress and never ask about each others day.

Maybe he is just preoccupied. Start up a conversation.

I have things in my head all the time (boring job, house that never is getting finished, no self esteem, failing business to name a few. I am worrying about things all my waking time, and starting a casual conversation is really breaking up my thoughts. My wife talks to me and I do not hear, it really makes her mad.

So give him a little slack.

Jane, first let me say, I am sorry that you are having to face the problems you talked about. Good luck with your business and I hope things turn around for you.

Second, I never said I was talking about one person in particular. I see this as a problem that a lot of gg's face everyday from their SO/spouse/BF's. I agree with occasionally granting slack when someone is having a bad day, or even a bad week. What I am talking about is everyday conversation, day in and day out. It gets a bit tiring always hearing about their day, and what they want and what you can do to make their exsistence better. Life is not all about ME, ME, ME. Some sensitivity and consideration is not to much to ask.
