I can relate. My ex wife constantly texts me novels about our daughter. Each text is probably 6 inches of screen on an iphone. 95% of the time my replies are "OK". I think that actually makes her want to text me more.

I dont even read half the shite she writes which is not good bc it involves our daughter. Id like a bulleted list of just the facts but telling her would probably piss her off.

Wear noise canceling headphones. I used to go to the door of my husband’s office and flip the light on and off so he’d know I wanted to talk to him. With those headphones on he was completely unaware. Occasionally I’d test it by yelling fire. Nothing


Like, my God. The point just proves itself.

the old lady has come to recognize that as my response to her texts that means "if you are going somewhere with this, let's hear it, I'm busy right now"

Tell her the sound of her voice turns you on, and you want to do bad things to her. Worst case you get laid. Best case, if your wife is like mine, She won’t talk for weeks.

My daughter and son-in-law: he’s 50/50 home/field and she’s a housewife. She sent me this screen shot the other day:



Obviously, she gets pissy too.
I’ll admit that my daughter is nuts with a saint for a husband.

Actually, it prevented annoyances. Occasionally, we do need to communicate.

I think you just ask her if she could not talk as much while your working, or stay to her side of the house if she does.

Women average speaking 7,000 words per day and men only 4,000.

Easy, stop "working" from home. Go to your office. If you don't have an office, go to the coffee shop or a library.
Oh and if you don't want noise. DO NOT HAVE KIDS.

Get some blue tooth headphones and every time she comes in the room tell her you're on a conference call.

OT Answer: Women fricking talk ALL THE TIME

Real Answer: switch offices, she won't have an excuse to walk through just randomly speaking to you
