It used to bother me but now I just give him his space. It is hard when you have been home with the kids and finally another adult comes home and doesn't want to talk.

I don't have that problem. My husband comes through the door practically talking as he turns the key. I always try not to unload on him or have any serious conversations until he's had an opportunity to wind down and transition from work life to family life. That's usually about an hour or so from him getting home.
If you're having difficulty getting husband to communicate with you, try changing your style/method. Maybe he feels negatively bombarded when he walks in. Maybe he's had a hard day and needs to de-stress. Always make his re-entry into your worlds a positive one -- hugs, kisses, "I'm glad your home", etc. Then after he's had a bit of time to be home, attempt conversation.

I have the same problem. My husband spend 12 hours a day talking with clients and when he comes home he's all talked out. I've learned to live with it and just cuddle and spend quiet with him. If I'm in a super chatty mood or need to vent I'll call a friend or my mom or sister.

well I dont have a husband but when my boyfriend comes home and is like that i know it sounds imature but i will talk to him untill it gets on his nerves and he starts to talk back, alls I say is are you tired, are you lonley are you sad, ect. I keep saying are you and think of an emotion that he could have and some times it makes him laugh but i know that some times he is just stressed, try asking him how his day was and mabey he will talk back
guys dont like to admit it but I think they can be just as emotional as us weman can be
just a list of emotions you could add to Are You?
blah, angery, frustrated, depressed, bitchy, blue, unsatisfiyed, happy, overwelmed
or anythink you could think of, this might not work and like I said it might sound inmature but some times it works, you could always try to pick a small fight then run up and give him a big long hug and tell him finaly your talking to me I missed you so much, just feeling wanted sometimes makes every thing else disaper.

when my husband first comes home after a long day of work he just needs a little while to sit down and chill and get into husband and daddy mode. he has to forget about work for the day.

I would be relieved! just kidding, Don't be too quick to jump to conclusions. He could just be having trouble at work or be extra stressed. Try and find the right time to sit and talk about it, and if he doesnt just emphasise how important it is to you and how its really been making you feel bad and hurting your feelings. If he still doesnt want to talk then he seems like he is being a pretty big jerk. Just try to do it so that he doesnt feel pressured or like there is going to be an argument. Just don't let him think you are going to get mad and defensive, let him know you just want to have a normal conversation.

It may depend on what you are trying to get him to say. If you greet him with a long discussion of what problems you had to deal with all day then he may clam up. You may be more anxious for adult conversation than he is. Give him a little time to relax and then I'll bet he will start talking just fine.

I can't STAND that! It drives me so crazy, and I end up being mad at him. This just happened the other day to us he would talk the whole ride up to the kids teacher conf. and all the way home. WE ended up in a huge fight and later that night he finally told me he had had a bad day at work. Now, why couldn't he have told me that when he walked in the door????

It's going to be hard for someone on here to give you a good answer. Without knowing you and your husband's personalities we couldn't possible know if he is just a private man, or if something is seriously wrong with your relationship.

I ask him about his day and really listen. But I know sometimes he needs to decompress so I make small talk until he's had a chance to relax.
