Does anyone else's spouse/partner talk to themselves?

[KitchenWitch]

Mine does incessantly, and half the time I do not know whether he is talking to me, the TV, or himself!

:silly:

[qnr]

1. I don't know, I can't hear her over my own prattle to myself n/t

[KitchenWitch]

2. LOL

That is honest!

I sometimes cannot hear people over the "committee in my head".

[unsavedtrash]

23. that's what I was thinking too n/t

[jpgray]

3. That's "talk to himself/herself"

&

[KitchenWitch]

4. yeah, whatever

:eyes:

[qnr]

5. so, the ulitmate decision was to use an ampersand? n/t

[jpgray]

6. That was just KitchenWitch's suggestion

:D

Hopefully she remembers that sooner or later so I'm not written off as an asshole. I'll make it bigger.

[KitchenWitch]

7. I caught it

but I really do hate the grammar policing that goes on here. I am dyslexic and really struggle to spell things correctly.

[qnr]

8. heheh

I liked the two section marks idea.

14. As an engineer in training in college, I must interject.

I think that hair has been split enough. If we attempt to split it one more time, it may not maintain it's strength. It will no longer be structurally sound and therefore, it will not support it's weight for the purpose it currently serves. Moving along. Nothing to see here. Okay, run. :hide: :P

[jpgray]

15. That's "its" weight

I'm obsessive about possessives.

[Jamastiene]

16. LOL.

And possessive with the grammar medal of honor, I see. :P

[jpgray]

20. I'm just screwing around, as usual

My grammar is usually fairly atrocious here, but I have to field test the grammar Nazi symbols. :P

[Jamastiene]

21. I was grinning the whole time I typed that post.

I knew, but I had to finally test out my engineering skills. I actually suck at math, so why I am in engineering I have no idea. Oh wait, I remember, it said something about computers in the title Computer Engineering Technology. I love computers. Now, I know a little more about them and way more math than I ever wanted to learn. :P

[madeline_con]

25. Wasn't it "its strength"? n/t

[democracyindanger]

9. Sure, sure

point to it as a character flaw on his part, when it's clearly a case of him giving up on conversing with you. :evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

10. All the time and it drives me nuts.

I don't want to be rude by not answering but that's the way it's going because I've grown tired of adjusting the volume on my hearing aids and asking "what did you say?"

[Shine]

11. Believe me, honey, he doesn't do it any more than I do!

:D

[Jamastiene]

12. No SO, but I do.

If I don't talk and mutter to myself, I can't get anything done. I am one of those people who is so preoccupied with concentrating on what I am doing that I constantly run into things and trip over silly little cracks in the sidewalks. If there is a column in the middle of the store I am in at the time and it is anywhere in my path, no matter how big it is, I will run into it, whether or not I have a buggy at the time. I'm such a klutz and such a mutterer. I don't even know why I do it.

[liberaltrucker]

13. Wife and SO both do

:evilgrin:

[petronius]

17. My wife's husband does...

...usually directed at the computer screen.

[hickman1937]

18. Fresh out of spouse/partners but I've always talked to myself.

The older I get the less I hide it. As Gandalf said:
"No! For I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to; the long explanations needed by the young are wearying."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My husband doesn't ........

but I sure as heck do!

Yeah, I know I'm crazy......:crazy:

[swag]

22. I think it's nice that she has someone to talk to.

[madeline_con]

24. I talk to myself, to my horror...

I'll just burst forth with a comment, like my inner dialogue is spilling into reality. It's weird, and has increased with my recent stress levels.

[jobycom]

26. Yes, and she even calls herself by my name when she does it.

When I still lived with her, anyway.

"Jobycom, blablabla Jobycom, blablabla..." I've heard her tell herself to take out the trash, get the kids ready for bed, fix the car. She even curses loudly at herself! "Jobycom, you *^(#^!"

Really interrupts my tv sometimes, you know? Weird. :shrug:

[Hissyspit]

27. Talking to yourself is a sign of higher intelligence.

Well, insanity, also. But also high intelligence.

[fleabert]

28. my husband's spouse does...

shhhhh...

[rucky]

29. He's not really talking to himself...

that's why guys name their peckers.
