[quote=Anonymous][quote]I work in a law firm and we don't generally interrupt each other when we're talking. We listen. THEN we speak. She's full of shit.[/quote]

Oh please. I have worked in multiple firms, and other practices of law.  Basically every single conversation is just a series of one interruption after the other.  The idea that lawyers do not interrupt is a joke.

As for whether OP or his spouse is a douche... it is totally contextual.  A couple questions I'd have for OP: (1) Have you thought about how long you tend to speak in "one go."  Longer then e.g. 1 minute 2 so I think would be monologue, and you may be the problem.  (2) In these "interruptions," is it an attempt to change the subject or to expand or ask questions about what you bring up?  If you are talking about your commute and DW interjects, hmmm, how long did it take you today? then I wouldn't say that was disrespectful but just a back and forth about the subject you were discussing.  If instead she interjects, uh huh, what should we eat tonight? then yes, she is cutting you off.[/quote]
