First off, how did you not notice this before getting married?

Second, have you tried actually kindly bringing it up while not watching a movie versus coming to this forum first?

Finally, he may have ADHD and not be able to help it, therefore you need to make a decision on whether you have the tolerance long term for such matters or not; is it an actual deal breaker or not?

Maybe tell him once again that it bothers you, but what bothers you more is that you feel disrespected and unheard bc you’ve already said this to him and keeps doing it. Tell him you’d love to talk and have time where y’all JUST talk. But NOT during movies. After that if he does it again turn the tv off and tell him you’re going to the movies ALONE and that you are disappointed in him (as a husband), bc knowing how it makes you feel he still decides to do it. I find if you come at it from a place of feelings* that can help.

If you won’t listen to him, another woman will.

Maybe watch the movie without him first then watch it with him so he can be himself :woman_shrugging:

Good luck I have one of them

I put on the caption words and I would just let him talk without paying attention or responding to him.
He will eventually stop. If not you can enjoy your show by following the words.

Mine does this sometimes. He’s a rambler lol. The worst is when he starts just as I’m about to leave the room, then pauses…only to start again after I’ve walked away.
I’m direct with him. I’ll pause what I’m watching, look at him, and ask if the conversation can wait until it’s over. Or if I’ve left the room I’ll tell him I can’t hear him anymore.
It’s to the point now where all I have to do is hit pause, and he says “oops, sorry” and stops lol.

Talking is a love language. I do this too :sweat_smile: I know it drives my husband crazy so I try to check myself. I’m a SAHM to 5 kids 6 and under, so when my husband gets home I need to talk to him and have him talk to me and he’s not huge on talking. Find a way to talk consistently for an hour to fulfill his love language and then ask hey can we stow the talk and sit and spend time together for me now?

Lol my youngest daughter does the samething now we have a rule she can only talk during commercials

Watch TV when he is not home. I have my TV in MY room. I don’t share. Have his in the living room or someplace else.

This post is great! Comments are hilarious :joy: I can’t get my man to have much convo so try to accept that it’s just him . U fell in love with that talker lol you could tell him again U wanna have quiet time while enjoying a movie but don’t be mean or make him feel bad for wanting to talk with you.

This post could’ve been written about me :joy::weary: My fiancé probably thinks this at least twice a day :sweat_smile: Enjoy it. The grass is always greener until you have to experience the other lawn lol I actually complain mine doesn’t talk enough and is too laid back. While I love to communicate my every thought and have deep conversations even about tv shows :joy::skull: If mine ever complains about me talking I just remind him he could have a girl that says “im fine” all the time and is too quiet and has to guess what she’s thinking. Once men have that they complain about those kinds of women too. So like I said we all want the opposite until you have it then you appreciate it more lol Word of advice though…if you have a partner that talks alot to you…please don’t make them feel annoying. I’ve had that and it created walls and disconnect. Talking is a way to connect. Always. Some people are uncomfortable with silence or aren’t getting their emotional cups filled up with small talk. Words are love languages. :blush: You may regret complaining to him or having conversations about him talking to much. Had that happen to me and I eventually felt annoying and went silent more often and it was missed :woman_shrugging: I would get messages saying he missed how I brought the singing and dancing around to our home and how easy it was to talk to me about anything and even talking durring shows. When I’m mad, depressed and not talking or being bubbly…our kids and him notice and our home is quiet and the vibe is sad. Then I’ll get the “whats wrong?” And he will initiate more conversations…he then feels anxious when I’m the “im fine/quiet girlfriend” :joy::woozy_face: We both get over stimulated sometimes so i know when he is and when to quiet down too. There’s pros and cons. Like I said the old grass is greener thing. You usually miss what you initially complain about. 2 similar personalities don’t always mesh well. If you had my fiancé your new complaint would be the home is “too quiet”. And vise versa if I had someone who talked as much as I do I’d be exhausted sometimes lol But I’d deal. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::woman_shrugging:

Mine does, about entirely random, made up and nonsensical things. The only time he’s quiet is if he’s sleeping or watching the news. Other than that he never shuts up. My only recommendation is duct tape or sleeping pills LOL!
