I’d have to respectfully disagree.

In my case, I ask “How did your day go?”, and three days later she’s still talking. 🤪

I learnt, don’t ask. JHC she can take a simple question like “Did FedEx come today?” and the answer will be a frikkin’ Harry Potter novel.

Yes or no would suffice!

That's mine to a T!

Even very simple chit that I think about saying, because I know how things go...

Her: How'd your brothers son do in the Houston stock show?

Me: He didn't. Got the gate and loaded on the truck. Didn't get to show.

Her: What happens to the lamb then?

Do they still sell it?

Do people eat lamb?

Why don't they give everyone a chance to show their animals?

Does he have another lamb he can show since the first didn't do good?

Why does your brother do that?

Fine! Turn and walk away before we are finished talking!

At 78 years mine has become obsessed with cleaning and putting stuff away.

Like I get something out, set it on a counter for use and when I turn around she has put it away!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha , she lets me go hunting ! You’re joking right ?

Hanco does everything I refuse to do. We do go out to eat once in a while and sometimes a movie. I go hunting or buy cars or whatever. She knows the buck stops with me and enjoys that a lot. Edk

With the ex, depending on HOW I asked how her day went, I may as well just admit to assassinating both JFK and Mother Theresa. Or having an affair with her (the ex's) twin. Or loading live human babies in a dump truck with a pitchfork...

The woman has an unending dynamic dialogue in her head 24/7. I could come home and go to bed without a word, and I'd hear the next day what I meant to say...
She holds people responsible for what they say in her dreams...

Beautiful, great cook, and sometimes fun to be around
Kinda juvenile but I occasionally said some sorta twisted things just to hear what she'd make of it

My ex-wife used to do the same damn thing.

She'd be pissed for days and after I finally dragged it out of her, she told me she'd had a dream where I was fugging some blonde woman...

WTF?

My wife bought me a pistol for my birthday. I told her that was a straw purchase and threatened to call the ATF, so she took the pistol back and now it is "hers".

As far as problems go that is our biggest one at the moment. Happy with how the pistol shoots though.

Know the situation to a T. Put forth a little effort on my part to stay put & keep on keeping on.

She once told me to get out & told I designed this place & built a lot of it & that I wasn't going anywhere, & she should get out. She said she helped build it too & she wasn't going anywhere either.

I said, OK. Maybe we could/should talk to one another a bit nicer. Just that little agreement slowed the turbulence quite a bit, I ain't broke, & still have a loading room & shooting range.

If you’re really smart, you’ll also ask a question or two. 😁
