Weird question I know.. but this was brought to my attention today so I was trying to get other opinions on it..
I talk about my past a lot... not in like a dating sense, but just random things I used to do like dinering with my friends until all hours the few times we were jobless... or the random roadtrips that always landed us somewhere unexpected.
In a way I guess it makes me feel less adult. I mean now what do I do? Work for hours to pay a mortgage, then clean a house, make dinner... I'm not exactly living the high life here
I have fun now too... but I also like remembering those fun times I had.
I guess they're just fond memories for me so I think about them often... and what you think about, you tend to talk about. But it really seems to bother DH. Like tonight we went to see a play and one of the actors in it had an uncanny resemblance to one of my friends brothers (who, btw, is also an actor... but I don't think it was him). I mentioned it to him during intermission and he got all mad... said something like he wanted this night to be about us so why do I have to bring my past into it. I didn't think mentioning that this guy reminded me of someone was a big deal... but I think to DH it was.
I didn't think it was so odd until DH started getting irritated by it. So I guess what I'm trying to figure out is... am I the only one that does this? And if you do it too, does your SO get bothered by it?
