Teeth It's time to shut up!

After a certain time of day, maybe 4:30 or 5:00 (we go to bed early) my husband starts to wince when I talk, kind of like I was poking a stick in his ear. Bless his heart, that's probably what it feels like!

I try to remember not to yap, but even if I don't have anything to say, I say it anyway.

Maybe you could text each other..

My DD & I sometimes get on each others nerves on the phone, so we text a lot. I like it..LOL.

I would write. journal or go play on the computer if he has reached his limit of wifely chatter. My DH does the same. He politely listens, but you can tell he just wants to melt into the couch.

Neurontin made me quite talk-y and I am not a shy person. Really, I talked my head off and there was not a conversation because if any one tried to reply I would quickly say that I had to finish or I'd forget what I was saying.

I did not make any friends and even stepped on my Mom's toes. Glad to be off of that.

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!
