I often wonder if I’m the only one who feels like they are probably boring their husbands to death. One thing that is difficult for me as a stay at home mom and as someone who has a limited amount of friends is subjecting my husband to some of my conversations. I mean I tell him things that are important like how the kids are doing in school and other important details. But lets face it being at home sometimes isn’t as exciting as it sounds. Especially not in my case. I rarely go out. I think the last time I went anywhere was a few weeks ago when my mother-in-law invited me to breakfast with my nieces and her. We had a great time. But for the most part when I’m here I do my normal clean up, watch tv, exercise (when I get the urge), read, blog, and read blogs. Nothing really too exciting. We text each other threw out the day and talk about news and things but I also talk about the things that I just mentioned. Those things aren’t his forte so it doesn’t hold his attention for very long. So I’m always trying to find other topics to talk about. Then when I run out of things to talk about I revert to asking questions like how is your day and what are you doing (this is obvious since he is at work). It’s basically the same thing when he’s home which I kind of feel even worst about since he is pretty much trying to relax. Which again he listens but I just feel so boring at times because I’m not really doing anything exciting. I guess I wish I was doing more but I’m not. Then what I do find exciting isn’t on his same level of exciting. So like if I get excited about a great book he isn’t a reader but he’ll listen. I’ve recently started taking to my blog to get what I am thinking or feeling out. Other ways I get my thoughts out is I talk to my mom. Am I alone in this?

“read, blog and read blogs” I love that, sounds like me LOL! I sometimes worry about being boring to my husband, especially on days that I’m focused on housework. I’m sure he doesn’t want to hear about me swiffering the floor

Ha ha ha!! That’s how I feel too. Like does he really want to hear how shiny I got the toilet.
I am going to need you to get out more. You should be able to talk to hubby, at least he listens too!

I agree. He is a great listener.
I am a talker. My husband is not. This can be a problem. I find myself thinking I’m boring him and then don’t tell him things. Then, he gets upset because I don’t tell him about my blog, am article I wrote, being in the AJC.because when I used to try to talk to him about my blog, he never seemed interested. Lol. But I decided to just keep talking anyway. If he is bored, he’ll change the subject

I am the same way.
My hubs and I hardly talk at all he works from sun up to sun down and he is only off on Sundays so when he is off I take a break and leave to get a break from having kids practically by myself all week. I don’t get out much myself but what I have started to do is do something from pinterest once a week it keeps me on my toes and gives me something new to show off.

Yes I am using my blog as an outlet and a way to talk about things he isn’t interested in. I know someone is interested. I need to start doing that as well just leave and take some time for myself.
