[b]My DH also doesn’t know when to just give an answer instead of a long story.[/b] Our entire family is so sick of it.

Is there someone your DH trusts who can have a come to Jesus talk with him about it? A career coach once talked to DH about it, but it was a long time ago and he’s forgotten the advice. Sigh.

OMG I hate this so much. My husband does the same thing.

I still remember when he was working on his PhD and someone would ask politely (making small talk) how many years he had left on his program and he would go off on tangents of “It depends” and a convoluted story about how that’s something you shouldn’t ask a graduate student. Blah blah. He got so mad when I would interrupt and say “It should be 2 or 3 more years depending on the research results. How was your trip? I heard you just got back from X?”

We had long conversations about how nobody wanted to hear his profession’s inside jokes anymore than he wanted to hear minutia about my friend’s coding dilemmas, his brother’s contract negotiations or his mom’s quilt patterns. [/quote]
