I had just bought a Camry Hybrid and my wife and I were driving in it doing errands... I have a tell when something is on my mind and my wife invariably asks what it is. Usually it really isn't anything significant and that time was no different...

Except....

I launched into a very detailed explanation as to how the Toyota Hybrid Synergy system really works and it lasted till we got home... Did I mention we had three stops and we're on our way to the first?

She has not asked what is on my mind since.

    This is a tragedy to me, one of the many reasons I married my wife is because she's the only person who has ever been excited to hear my info dumps.

    Same, I feel so bad for people whose spouses aren't interested. I hope they're exaggerating here, because the story is sad.

    My story, I'm a giant train nerd. Any types, got model trains, ride them frequently, it's my thing. For the first few years I was terrified to mention it, and man do I regret not doing it earlier. She is interested because I'm interested! She now shares my interests with me. We've gone on now 6 or so long distance sleepers here in the states and love it. I can't imagine having a spouse who actively didn't want to share interests

    That's so freaking cute! My spouse is a dino and space babe and while I've never been invested enough to really get into either, I love learning and I love her excitement. So we take turns info dumping and I now have a new found love for paleontology.

    She still asks on occasion, but she takes me more seriously when I say it's nothing all that important.

    Oh if I'm thinking through something that we both need to have a say in I absolutely share my thoughts as she does with me. j
