All my boyfriend talks about is work and it's really annoying. How do I tell him this? (Page 2)

Question

Literally he talks about nothing else. I mean, he has good reason to talk about work because he may be getting a promotion and moving to a new city, which is really exciting. But it's been a month since he found this out and he literally talks about NOTHING ELSE. I was his biggest cheerleader for a while because he was saying he was doubting he was getting the position or that he's not qualified and I told him that he should be more positive. But now we're having conversations that last like...2 hours and he only talks about his job and it's not even about the positives! Mostly he complains about the negatives of the promotion and how much more work it'll be if he gets it. But then he'll add how some people at work are jealous of him or out to get him somehow. It is SUPER annoying on a level I can't put into words. Like when I try to talk about something I'm interested in like my book I'm writing or my job or starting up my bakery, he doesn't even acknowledge what I say because he doesn't eat sugar and doesn't want to talk about cakes because it doesn't interest him. I asked him yesterday to change the conversation and he snapped at me saying all we ever talk about is cake, which isn't true because he refuses to talk about it and has told me on several different occasions he doesn't care about it. How do I tell him to find different subjects to talk about? It's to the point where I'm ready to get off the phone after 5 minutes or not even go to his house as often just because I'm sick of hearing about work.

Yeah, f*ck career and stuff let's talk cake. Do him a favor and break up with him so you can find a beta cake guy while this man grows and talks serious stuff.
