[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to say this even though it won't be popular. I realize it's stereotyping and it's not true in every case but, women talk a lot more than men.

When we are in the dating phase, there are nerves and passion in play and people are sometimes afraid to say the wrong thing, so the gap isn't as noticeable. When you get comfortable and are married, guys tend to be "a little talked out" and women tend to fill silence with words. Much like sex becomes more of a chore and less of a pleasure for the woman as some marriages age, conversation becomes more of a chore and less of a pleasure for men.

I think it may be a woman's willingness to discuss even the most inane topic and dis issue to death. My wife struggles with an economy of words when she speaks. She's great when she writes. Even the simplest statements that could be understood by anyone are accompanied by a 5 minute explanation of why. Over time, it wears on you.[/quote]

I'm sure my husband thinks I talk to much. But it is just rude to not acknowledge someone at all. And even he knows this. OP's husband could have responded, 'i'm good with baby, have fun' and that would have been the end of it. Or even, 'cool, have fun'.

I make decisions all the time that I don't consult him on, but sometimes you just want to talk to the person you chose to spend your life with and who chose to spend it with you. It is depressing to try to make a little conversation and be completely ignored. If your boss was trying to make conversation, you'd chime in, why not with your spouse?

You chose to marry someone who likes to chat, so don't blatantly ignore them when they say something. [/quote]

I'm not playing the blame game or judging. I've been on your end of things and it's very frustrating. Different people react different ways. He might be adjusting to your talking by just tuning you out hoping that will make you talk less. My only suggestion is to adjust or confront. 
Adjust means, when you want his attention, go over, tap on his arm "hey honey" and stand in front of him until he gives you his attention. Then say what it is you want to say. You know what confrontation is.[/quote]
