We are in our 50s and have been married 8 years. When we met, my husband and I shared same ideas,dreams.....we both talked a lot. He works overseas on offshore rig for month on, month off. I have a job and we are empty nesters. With the extra bedrooms. my husband has started sleeping in one of them. He will sleep with me and get cuddly a few nights before he has to leave for work, no sex at all. The first week home...he is sweet, when I picked him up from airport this last hitch, he treated me to a manicure/pedicure. Within 24 hours, after his arrival, you can not please him anymore. He will drink several shots of tequila and drink several beers a day. I do not know of this is a problem. but if we say 20 sentences a day to each other...I would be surprised. He says I talk too much,I started ADD meds hoping this would help. My friends say it alters mu personality
..I shouldn't have to change ...I am a teacher and do not think I have ADD....I give him short answers. And if I try to converse with him, I am aware of trying to "make it short and to the point". But he still says I talk to much. Or "oh,I stopped listening"! I am home alone for a month at a time, am I expecting too much, or being emotional abused? This is our 2nd marriage.
