Husband doesn’t stop talking…

My DH and I retired 8 months ago and I am finding his non-stop talking hard to deal with. I’ve tried to tell him his interests in some of his subjects do not interest me, but that does not deter him. Admittedly, I do now tend to tune out, but am I being unreasonable when, sometimes, I just want to say “stop talking”?

One of the loneliest places to be is in an unhappy relationship, especially if you have no one to confide in. And, from my job I learned that sometimes the thing that someone talks about is masking something else and you have to draw that other thing out of them. So to trivialise something that seems unimportant prevents them from telling you what the real problem is.
