Hey there.
Weird title isn't it? the thing is not that she talks too much, I love listening to her always. It's that she ALWAYS, CONSTANTLY talks about her family, almost 90% of the time.
I love my girlfriend to death, we've been together for almost 6 years, but..
If I'd say I have so and so item she'll go "yeah, my dad's also got that, he uses it to.."
or "yeah my mom said that she agrees about..."
ALWAYS. And she'll start developing a whole conversation about it and everything that I TRIED to say in the first place is kind of dismissed. It's always really been like this but, I've been in the army for several years so I guess it hasn't bothered me.
It's ridiculous. It's also very annoying.. I'd say borderline hurtful on the risk of sounding girly, that she would not even listen to me, if I say something it's like she half listens, and I want her to RESPOND to what *I* am saying, instead she takes what I say and turns it into a "yeah my mom\dad blabla". I'm not sure how to explain what it feels like but it's half like she's ignoring me, but not really cuz she's listening, just not responding.
I really love my girlfriend, and talking with her and being with her is one of my better aspects of life, but she really makes it hard sometimes.
Well, so really the advice I'm asking here is, how should I approach it? I don't wanna blunt out say it because I know her, and she'll say she's sorry and pretend she's ok, and she WILL try to stop doing it, but she's a bit sensitive and would probably feel very guilty.
Thanks for any advice
