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!
