Husband is driving me crazy!
My husband is going crazy about our finances. He's trying to update our budget and open an investing account and looking into money markets. He's stretching me to my limit though. I understand he's stressed out because our finances aren't desirable right now so I let him vent when he needs to to feel better but he is exhausting me!
He will call me every day (not exaggerating) and talk for HOURS about every inch and corner of our money. He talks about EVERY possible expense that might come our way. He talks about EVERY, EEVVEERY thing about insurances, mortgages, loans, utilities, and future expenses like children. I have NO idea how he knows all these things but he talks without taking a breath. I seriously feel trapped on the phone, like I'm forced to sit in a boring meeting with no way out.. I actually lost my attention span.
Sometimes I doze off and stop paying attention and just let him talk and next thing I know, like 20 minutes in, he gets mad because he asked a question and I wasn't paying attention. But I seriously can't give him my undivided attention for how loooong he talks every day!
I understand he's stressed and he needs to vent it out but I can't take this anymore. MOST of what he talks about doesn't even have anything to do with our situation. It's so annoying and boring.. I just don't know what to do..
Anyone else deal with this? My brain is mush.
I'm literally typing this as he's talking. He hasn't stopped and I've been writing this for 17 minutes.
My phone dies every day because I just put him on speaker while I clean the house. I don't have all day to sit on the couch and listen to him. I have things to do! But he doesn't understand that. He wants me to sit down and listen intently for hours and absorb everything but I CAN'T!
I honestly feel like it's affecting my memory because since he's been doing this I'm having a harder time remembering things.
Plus (he swears he doesn't do this) but when he asks for my opinion, which is rare, I'll start talking and then he'll interrupt me and talk over me and try to clarify something and then start talking about something else so I just shut up again. It's SO FRUSTRATING!!
