OK, let me lead you a bit, since we're of the same mold.

Seriously, your goal is what I am doing now. Answer when spoken to (nicely), and only initiate conversation when it has to do w/kids, house, logistics... Then, BREAK IT OFF!
I'm not sure if I can tell how it is working, as H is sick right now (wah wah wah), and he's, for the most part, a crab. And, guess who is not offering meds, info, etc... My only piece of advice yesterday. "You need to go to a Dr. for that." (I was tired of all of the questions, and questioning my answers... probably trying to get under my skin for lack of talktalktalking...) He did go to the Dr, and, yes, he has strep throat, just like S12.
GOD HELP ME!
This am, he's crabby, as we had to drop off my car to get get fixed. We're riding together, alone, in his car, and he's attempting conversation after shooting a few minimal zingers... He finally says, "Don't you have any response?" Me, "No, I'm sorry, did you say something? I was thinking about something." Him, "Nevermind!" Then, he was on to another subject, and I just sat there minding my own business, offering only a brief response.
We get home, and he attempts to get me to play a game of backgammon w/him. Me, "OH, I'm sorry, I have to get to work right away this am."
He's not loving this, but not sure if he gets it, or is just now fogged over w/strep fog!
So, my long-winded chatty Kathy response is... you're on the right path (thinking).

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
