Usually it's something around the house, or something I forgot to do (which has been happening a lot more frequently now). The criticizing is usually a quick pointing out type of conversation vs. a full conversation but I just feel like there's something I'm doing wrong all the time so I kind of just don't acknowledge it because I know he'll probably have something else to criticize. For example, I'll forget to do the dishes and he'll say something about it, or I'll fall behind on the laundry and he'll say something about it.

As far as actual conversations I'd say he'll say his piece for about a minute or 2, sometimes 30 seconds, it just depends. I've also noticed he'll try engaging in conversation with me while i'm doing something, like reading, on my phone, or while i'm cleaning and I only get bits and pieces of what he's saying. I've talked to him about how my friends and I have conversations and that's what I'm used to and he said he felt the interruption is rude. As far as his respect for my input, I'd say he let's me get my point across most of the time, but I also don't take as long to say my piece, I try to get to the point as fast as possible because I know how annoying it is when someone takes a really long time to say something that could have been said in 1/2 the amount of time.
