I also think there's the extraversion/introversion dynamic at play. My husband and I both work, but he wants to talk about his day; I'm done by the time I get home. The most annoying part is that he tends to want to talk when I'm reading a book, versus at bedtime (I could handle that). Yes, I've had to put down Dresden books to speak to my husband. Can you imagine??? 
My husband is a bit like that, though he doesn't want to talk about his day, it's about the War in Iraq, the Bombings, philosophy etc. He never wants to talk when
he's watching a TV programme or reading a book, only when
I am. You see the things
he's interested in are
important!!I will stop watching the TV to talk to him, but if I MUST stop reading a book it's only when I've got to the end of the chapter(or if I forget sometimes the one after that)
.
Oh, and thank you
meg_evonne for your kind words. I think it's
neurovore by the way.
13x13 it is a woman's duty to never let a man forget when he has annoyed her, the idea is if we remind you of it just before you go to sleep you won't forget your transgression.
I don't know why we bother though, it NEVER works.
ETA When I said IT was
neurovore I was refering to the screen name not the person.
