Wow, this really sounds a lot like me, and I know where you're coming from. DH and I used to have a lot of friends and socialize a lot. But he was always having to be the star. If I tried to talk, he would cut me off. If I pointed it out later, he would say, well, you take to long to say anything. This is the man, who takes over every conversation. Seems he enjoys all his online buddies from his collector forum boards than talking to me. We rarely sit and talk, it leads to awkward silences. I barely remember the last time we had sex. I gave up initiating. How many times can a woman be turned down, before even though he says don't take it personally??? Helloooooo it's a marriage - you and I, how am I not to take it personally?
