It’s been like this for years, (7 year long marriage )where he (30m) will go on and on about any of his hobbies interests and whatever, and I (29M) will ask questions and be actually engaged and curious about what he is interested in. I don’t get the same sort of response from him. He never asks about what I am interested in. If I bring something I’m interested in to, he doesn’t ask any sort of questions or want to know anything meaningful about my hobbies or interests or even big life questions like what do you see for the future or where do you want to travel to one day or anything. The only topics he will engage with are things he explicitly enjoys like politics or hobbies. I have bright this up countless Times and it change for a week at most, but even then, he asks the same proscriptive questions that are just rehashing the few examples I give him, and it seems like he isn’t interested or cares about the answer, just a tick box to make me start off him. It has me feeling like I’m just that boring that he doesn’t care shout anything I’m interested in or that I’m just a burden to Him and He needs to hurry Up and get on to the next thing. What can I say to explain this to him one and for all because it’s exhausting it being the same thing of me not feeling cared about.
TLDR- husband only likes to talk about things he is interested In and didn’t engage in conversations about my interests. Gets mad when called in it. Need help as to what exactly to say to get thru to him.
