Find a Conversation
| Wed, 02-11-2004 - 2:14pm |
My problem is that my husband talks a lot and I don't feel like I am able to cope with it. We start a conversation and it seems he is always right with whatever he says and I am always wrong. I'm not saying I am always right but I hate always being wrong. I've tried putting my points across but he is much more eloquent and refuses to ever accept he could be wrong. Sometimes it can turn into a nasty row. He also starts explaining everything to me and lecturing on things which annoys me. If I ask him to stop, even politely, he takes offense and gets hurt. He also wants to talk a lot about politics and technical things which I have absolutely no interest in and continues for hours regardless of how I react. I have tried to show interest in the things he likes and even read up on them but it hasn't helped and starting conversations on my interests either falls flat or results in a lecture. Sometimes after a conversation it feels like I have been run over by a truck. I am not sure if the problem is mine or his or both.
Thnaks for your help,
Catherine

It seems like for whatever reason, he acts like this with you, as if you were is child, rather than his SO. By you continually allowing him to do this (and by that i mean not putting your foot down, not that you want him to treat you this way), he thinks its acceptable.
I think counseling is a very good idea, even if its just you attending.If nothing else, it wilol teach you how to break free from him treating him you like this.
