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.

    This is wrong on so many levels. If either one of you is pretending in your relationship, then the relationship is not a healthy one. How long has he been pretending to be interested in your life? Since you had your child or since you met?

    Before you had your child was your relationship a good one?
