Vent about your partner, family member, sibling…

[Sogdhitalley]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has a partner that literally NEVER shuts up!
Honestly, I don't know what they have let to talk about half of the time and I'm convinced they talk just for the sake of talking.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get any work done or catch a moment to myself without them going on all the time. I've spoke to them about it but they still never shut up.
I am so damn sick of it. Most of the time it's never anything important and could wait or even not be said at all. I don't care about a stupid tiktok video or a dumb post on Facebook when I'm trying to send important emails and actually earn us money.

I'm the first one up in the morning and they never bothers to make the sodding bed. I'm sick of having questions fired at me, which with a bit of thought they could work out themselves. I'm sick of being touched and everyone wanting SOMETHING from me.
Everyone wonders why I look bleeping miserable and tired 99% of the time.
I just feel like telling everyone to piss off, use some common sense and think for yourself for a change and just leave me the duck alone.

Tell them to shut up.

Mine never shuts up, he repeats himself and brags nonstop, it seems that he’s got worse since he turned 50, every little thing that he does he wants a pat on the back, I have tried talking to him but it does nothing except really irritate me. He prides himself on not being able to cook or finish anything that he’s started, honestly, I am dreading how it’s going to be as we get older, I can’t deal with more responsibility, most of what he says or does or stands for is everything that I don’t want. The now grown up kids all still come to me because he prides himself on being unavailable, unless it’s about him. But he complains when they still come to me, perhaps it’s me too, I think that I’m menopausal, and I have likened it to going through puberty again and my tolerance is at an all time low.

I will not think twice about telling anyone to shut the duck up/give me a break/leave me alone etc

Literally could’ve written this post but about my kids not my husband

 

[Sogdhitalley]

Same bullshit today. Since getting in this afternoon the child has been up and down the stairs to ask numerous questions, show me what they've done every 5 minutes and yet I'm expected to make decisions and be happy when I don't get a sodding minute to myself unless it's late at night or really early in the morning or like now when I'm having a piss.
Tomorrow I have a day off and I'm seriously tempted to just get up insanely early before anyone else is up just for some peace and quiet and to actually let my brain rest for a change. I'm so tired and run down.

I think I am the partner who never shuts up

I think I am the partner who never shuts up

I was just gonna write this. I think my fella would be the one to make a thread about me never shutting up

 

[Heyholetsgo]

My other half never shuts up and neither does my daughter. It's eerily quiet when they go out!

 

[Crabbypatty00]

I just want peace and quiet not constant comment on every bleeping thing! Bizarrely he hasn't got much to say to our baby who does actually benefit from a constant stream of observations. Me on the other hand, he will not stop talking at / to! I don't understand it! Any suggestions on how to redirect this verbal diarrhea to the poor unsuspecting child?

Not my husband, but my mother is like this. She just can't stand silence and blabbers away even if nobody is listening. I picked her up from somewhere once and told her I didn't have my hearing aids in and couldn't look at her to lip read while I was driving, so I wouldn't be able to hear anything she said - even that didn't stop her!

Actually, come to think of it I vaguely remember working with someone who wouldn't shut up either ...

It really is exhausting.

My partner barley talks, getting a conversation out of him is like blood out of stone allways starting at his phone or the tv.

However, he literally cannot think for himself or do anything without being asked around the house at all. Its like having another toddler to look after, and I think during the 18 months of us both working from home I've realised that he is just useless

My daughter doesn't stop talking though, constant narration. Needs something from me at all times. Everytime i leave a room or get half way up or down the stairs she shouts me for something meaning I have to turn around, everytime I'm in the kitchen with my hands full shes needs something, everytime I sit down 30 seconds later I have to get back up.

I've very much a type of person who needs some time totally alone everyday or so to just reset, during this pandemic I haven't had any time properly alone at all and I am at the end of my tether. 18 months of pretty much constant company and I am so done

My partner is very talkative and extroverted. I’d say I’m chatty but I also value time alone and definitely introverted. From the second his eyes ping open he’s just ‘on’, rabbiting away 160mph before I’ve even had a coffee. I often tell him ‘I can’t do this right now’ or ‘I’m going for 5 mins alone’ hahah. He’s not offended anymore, I think he knows he’s a pest sometimes.

Solution: tell them to give you a minute or 90 of PEACE

To be honest, I have children. I get up during the week an hour early just to have one full non interrupted hour to myself. Try it if you can.

 

[Sheabutter]

I didn’t speak, text, or receive calls from my family for the past week and a half it was heaven Must find ways to do this more often!

 

[WilmaHun]

I feel like my partner is the opposite end of this scale... maybe you two would be a perfect match?!

He's allllllllllllllllways glued to his phone. I struggle to get a serious conversation out of him without having to say "will you just put the bleeping phone down for 5 minutes to talk to me!". Or when he does want to talk to me he'll have a video loudly playing on his phone which I've got to try and talk over. It's infuriating!!

Whilst I'm at it I might as well moan about him some more...

He never puts his underwear in the laundry basket, rather he leaves it NEXT to it on the floor.
He eats a bag of crisps or drinks a can of fizzy and the empty can or packet will stay where ever he consumed it. He's not worked out how to put things in the bin. I think he thinks a fairy comes at the end of the day to collect them all.
He never makes the bed if he's last out!! He reckons it's nicer getting into an unmade bed. Weirdo.
He never puts any clothes in the wash, he leaves them on a pile on the floor NEXT to the wardrobe. I'm supposed to know which ones need washing and which need hanging back up.

Partner moan: he thinks that because I work from home, I have endless time to do the household chores like cleaning and food shopping and cooking during my working hours. Sorry, mate, but I have to work 8-6 so anything else has to wait, same as it has to wait when you go to an office. And yes, I realise the irony that I'm typing this here, during my working hours... he will come home tonight wondering why I haven't been to the shops to get salad and milk, but when he gets home I still have at least half an hour of work before I can log off.
On the opposite side... I never hear anything at all from either of my parents, so I guess his moaning makes up for the lack of any chat from them (and no, he doesn't moan all the time, this is just my pet hate about him).

 

[karmadrama]

My husband does absolutely duck all in the house. I work from home (self employed) but my work ends up suffering because I’m always too busy doing everything else that needs doing. Sick to death of it to be honest.
