[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might be random and unique to me, but I recall - especially when my wife was home with young ones, and we were suddenly down to one income - that it felt like the only thing she ever wanted to talk about were chores and stuff that would cost us money. I felt like, between working harder to make up for lost income and working harder just because of what having kids requires; I was maxed out on both money and effort. The last thing I wanted to talk about were things that either involved more of either.

So, I think I closed down conversations pretty quickly at that point. If the conversations had been about more abstract, entertaining things, I don't think I would have shut down as much. (I'm not blaming her, btw -- these were things we needed to talk about. I was just at the end of my rope at the time. Babies are hard!)[/quote]

I agree with this. Does your DH have hobbies, interests, does he like sports? Talking about those things might offer him a diversion. Then maybe you have an opening for a wider range of topics/interests...[/quote]
