[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Venting here. I got to the point of saturation. ILs always talking and behaving as if they were the center of the universe: it’s them and their cars, their house, their food, their intestines (yes, FIL brings the topic to the table or to tea time), their furniture, their lawn. 
They never ask me how I feel. They never send their condolences when my mother passed. They never asked me how I feel. Instead, they criticized the weeds popping up on the lawn surrounding the kitchen garden I created.

Now my husband is repeatedly saying how much better he feels after a visit to the urgent care (had acid reflux). He never asked me how I feel after my ER visit (I had an anaphylactic shock). When we go out for dinner/lunch, he doesn’t initiate a conversation unless I bring his key topic: money.

Your DH doesn’t sound very talkative and doesn’t initiate conversation anyways.

I’m autistic and I don’t generally initiate conversations or ask people questions - which is initiating conversation. If you have something to say why don’t you just say it unprompted like he does. Why do you want him to take a census?

His parents are unthoughtful old people who talk too much. Why be bothered about that?[/quote]
