Me [33M] with my wife [30F] duration, tips when it comes to talking about work with SO
So I have been married for 6 months and we have been together for 3years. Wanted to know what are some tips you guys have when it comes to talking about work with your lady? Don't get me wrong I am happy. as is she in our relationship. However one things that sometimes annoys me is how much she talks about her work. Where as I am not as animated you can say when it comes to talking about my job.
She will tell me about her work and her problems and triumphs she has had at her job. I like talking to her about it cause most times it is interesting. But sometimes she will tell a story about work that day and I'm thinking to myself "get to the point already!" Since I don't work there , a lot of things she says about her job that happened that day she finds hillarious or dramatic. She works at a company where it is basically ALL women. So when's she tells me something that she thinks is hilarious or some drama , I don't really get it since I am not working there, so it's more of like an inside joke for her. Where her co workers also think is funny or dramatic.
How do you married people or people in long term relationships handle these conversations? Like I said it's not a serious issue in our relationships but sometimes after work I like to come home and just zone out for a little bit and not need to hear every little detail. So any tips or tricks by anyone who has mastered the art of acting really interested would be nice.
tl;dr: Tips to keep work conversations at a minimum with SO on days where you come home from work and just want a little quiet time?
