When my DH was alive we actually had the exact opposite problem. I was on the phone all day at work.....and I really didn't want to talk alot at home. I just needed to decompress after a day of all day talking. He, on the other hand, didn't talk alot at work and was ready to chat when he got home. The years he worked nights it worked well. Once he went to days it got a little dicey. I wasn't used to someone always commenting on things I did!
