When you're a young couple you look at other couples in restaurants who just sit there, not even talking to each other and you say to yourselves, 'Oh, that will never be me!'. And yet, here I am in this very situation, pretty much each and every time we (my husband and I) go out to eat. It's just the two of us, the kids are all grown, and so we do eat out a lot. What's the theory behind all this? I think it's HIM, because as an avid newshound, I always know what's going on in the world, and I'll fill your ear with my recap of events easily....

Maybe it's just he doesn't know where to start or he feels like there is just nothing to say. Let's face it men are never big talkers.

I know there of only two topics that will start him off talking, both are his past life, and I find I can't listen patiently to the same old stuff any more; I fear I may roll my eyes or make a face of impatience....

@crowbeak I can understand that. Perhaps you can detour the subject from there

As the time passes this happens but can be overcame.I am also that victim while my wife does all the chatting and I feel bored.I found thebest way is asking questions on the conversations she holds, I need to throw a question n she does all the narrative aka explanation, so somehow I maintain myself to be in the conversations.

Even more sad when couples aren't talking to each other but busy staring at their phones instead.

If you know the person isn't much of a person to start a conversation, then there isn't much to change about them. But a person can never blame the other fully. It takes 2 to tango, but only 1 to start a conversation.
