Not catching me today wifey
Posted on 11/22/18 at 7:39 am to L1C4
What drives me crazy is when , by mistake , I say who or what 20 seconds in she starts back to the beginning. After 45 years you think I would have learned my lesson.

And that was not implied in the op. Most men don't call to say pointless shite.
My wife will even call me at work sometimes and start going on about day to day stuff in her life. She's in college and she'll talk about this quiz and test coming up, this and that assignment she's going to work on this day and that day....that shite can get aggravating if it happens when you were actually busy/in the middle of something.
She gets the hint, I think, when I start saying things like, "Alright, well aaaaa...." If that doesn't work I just cut it off and say I need to get back to work.

yeah thanks for clarifying that. i don't see how "women talk a lot" translates into "men are interesting and women aren't"
also this stuff is super frustrating for me. y'all all know my brain is weird as frick and it translates into a personality/perception that resembles autism. well i think when i explained that to my gf early on she thought it was a ruse or something. she assumes i'm a lot more normal than i am
last night it actually had a hilarious result. i was saying something about work (b/c it was a day/work convo) and she was like "oh i missed 2 calls from my mom. i need to call her" and i said "it's OK i wasn't saying anything important anyway" and she took it like i just dropped a passive-aggressive nuke on her, when i was just being serious and concise

It's not about entertainment. It's about getting to the point quickly.
The worst is when my wife reads me funny things off her phone. I have to look at it and read it myself, if I'm going to comprehend and get the joke. But she'll sit there, phone in hand, and read it off to me for ten minutes. Then, she will get mad that I'm not laughing at the end of it. I'm sitting there trying to figure out where the frick she went with it in the first 30 seconds. Happens at least once a week.

This sums it up for me

I just make noises that make her think I’m engaged in the conversation.

Wife....she knows to keep it short and to the point. If it’s important she asks me to repeat it back.
Mom....she can talk to me for 3 hours without my blinking and not get the hint. She lives 10 mins away, every time she calls and I try to get her off the phone it’s “oh one more thing!” And then some super random bs like “oh and the microwave light is out” or “oh dog food is for sale right now”

Or how about your mom calling when the score is tied up, LSU is getting the ball with a little under ten minutes left in the 4th quarter.
It's gotten to the point to where I'll answer the phone, and ask if she's ok, and that I'll call her back.
frick that noise!

My wife likes to use voices and inflection to drama up her long stories. I don’t like it, and she doesn’t care that I don’t like it. 20 years

I try to keep it down to one to three word phrases because I know that is all he can handle at one time.

Usually it stops and starts with “how was your day?”
