Told off for not being excited enough

Magnolia1

My husband and I don't properly argue like with shouting or anything but we do have frustrating moments. 

I go told off for not being excited enough when he told me about something to do with his work. He says I talk to him about my obsession and he pretends to be interested but I don't do it for him .

So, I made a conscious decision not to talk to him about my obsession and he told me he wasn't going to bother telling me about his stuff anymore.  

The result of this is we have not really spoken about anything other than our child in the last 2 days and there has been a lot of awkward silence.  

I tried to explain to him that I didn't do it on purpose but he just can't seem to understand.

  • Hi Magnolia1. When my OH and I get into a battle of silence when we've fallen out. I usually find that one thing sorts this out. That would be my advice.

    Regarding the words that were said. He has said that he pretends to be interested and that you have said the same -, surely this puts you both at an equal position to work from.  So the fact that he can't cope with this sounds complicated. In my relationship, we both pretend to be interested and I'm sure that my acting often let's me down. My OH says he can read me very easily!

    Anyway, I'm hoping that by now, you have worked things out.
