Relationship problem - verbosity!

Or in other words, he won't shut up!

I have a hectic daily life. Full-time childcare for DGS. Working full-time from home too. So the little free time I have, that I spend with my bloke, is down time for me. But for him, it is company (he lives alone). So when we're together, he talks. Non-stop.

It does my head in! I'm a quiet type anyway. But on top of full-time granny and work, I just need some peace and quiet.

I've been polite about it, I've dropped hints, told him, made jokes and explained. Yet still. Yakkety yak yak. He's doing my bl**dy head in!

Unless we are talking about, who is that? Isn't that thingy from thingy? You know that movie where they went on that bus and it blew up and there was that guy in an orange hat, what was that movie called?

VioletSky that did make me laugh - we have that conversation through just about everything we watch ??

I think the problem might be looking after grandchildren AND working full time? That sounds like a ridiculous responsibility, no wonder you crave quiet.. but it not his fault.

I do think Gagajo is possibly stressed doing so much, but she should still be able to ask for some quiet. I think she's being too nice about it. You can be firm without being rude.
