Wife Has An Annoying Habit

[Anonymous]

... of interrupting. She thinks whatever she has to say is if the utmost importance and demands my full attention whenever she is talking. Case in point. This morning I am outside multi-tasking: trying to set up the deck outside while making phone calls. I have my headphones in to do this. She cones out to start telling me how to do things - which is another pet peeve I have. I put my hand up to indicate I’m in a call and she keeps going to the pint I have to pull the headphones out and tell her I’m in a call. She demanded to know with whom when I told her. Now she is pouting about how I disrespected her and she wants an apology rather than acknowledging she was wrong for interrupting and saying “I’m sorry I don’t know you were on a call.

My mom is like this. Have no idea why she is. It's exhausting so you have my sympathies. Everything is somehow insulting to her. I learned to just nod my head and fake apologize to keep the peace.

I’m guessing it’s a both of you problem. My husband lives in his headphones, it would be nice if he didn’t ....but I don’t expect apologies. Maybe put the Internet down?

You fascinate me, OP. You're the same guy who wanted to be thanked (rightly so imo) for the wine. If you put half as much energy into growing a backbone as you do into whining online, you'd be...a thousand times more attractive, for starters.

I'm curious. Are you the guy who started the "For husbands" thread a while back?

You wife is supposed to read your mind that you are on a call?

Sounds like OP gave the recognized sign for "I'm on the phone" and then she had a temper tantrum.

Your wife thinks she's better than she is, so she thinks anything she thinks needs to be shared and anything she has to say is more important than anything else someone else might be saying.

Have you posted before? If so, please just divorce. It is obvious you don't like her!

No, but I’d like to see it.

Is she coming out to tell you how to do things because you typically do a lousy job, are sloppy, etc.? Because that would annoy me.

So when do you talk with your wife and how many times a day?

It’s funny because I kind of thought your subject line clickbait was annoying, and it was an interrupted sentence of your very own.

OP does your wife have ADHD? Some people with ADHD interrupt.

+1. Without even realizing they’re doing it, too.
