[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think I’m just bummed that my DH doesn’t desire to only share certain things with me or do things with just me. Makes me feel like I’m not that important. [/quote]

I this this a you problem, not your husband. You should try to understand why you need him to share things with just you. [/quote]

Not OP but i disagree. I think OP doesn't want husband to share so much of their life and specific details (finances, remodeling) with family. And i can completely understand that. My parents are great but every opinionated and i did not share with much them when we were buying a house or how much. Not surprisingly they hated the house when we bought it and only got over it after several years. I would not and DH does not share with family how much we have in retirement or oir plans for that ad i have no desire to entertain discussions on that point. I enjoy sharing completed decisions and projects but not always works in progress as that derails me and DH from whatever goals. I bet OPs DH doesnt have other small talk or subjects to engage woth and he overshares and OP is bothered by that. I would reframe this to him instead of you wanting to be the center. Uou want some of your nuclear family's decisions and processes to be just for you all and not open to scrutiny, comment and suggestion for a while. He may get it. Or he may bristle and then you have an incompatible communication style and need to figure out how to move on with that. 
I actially know seceral women who call their mothers 3 tomes a day and discuss every detail of their lives. Its a thing but it doesn't bother everyone. [/quote]
