The usual solution is to just start repeating your anecdotes and topics over again. Think how old couples always go like"Ugh, now he's talking about that war story again."

I have something called A Life. My wife has one, too.
This means we are constantly learning new things, having new experiences, and so on.
We can discussed new shared experiences and learning as well as individual experiences and learning.

That happened to me and my gf about 3 years in because we were each other's only friends and told each other our life stories. The solution was to branch out and get more friends. Women love to talk about and hear about other people. My gf loves it when I hang out with our friends and then tell her what they're up to. It's highly engaging for them.
>did you hear what happened with Jenny and her boyfriend
>*instantly pays attentoon to me* no what??
>they just broke up...
>omg no, what happened!?

Hey!
Here's some life advice
Men: When you engage with your friends proactively ask them the questions your GF/wife is going to ask when he hears about events.
For example, if my buddy Dave tells me 'I broke my hand three days ago and went to the hospital' as a man my reply is 'dumbass! Were you drinking?"
BUT! I then ask the questions my wife will ask: 'what were you doing? Which hospital? How long were you there? How did (his wife) Sara react? How long will you be in a cast?' and so on.
Then when you get home you *proactively say 'Hey honey, guess what? Dave broke his hand' then give her all the details up front.
As a result your GF/wife thinks you are a good friend, a good listener ( I don't get it, but its true), that you share your emotions well (likewise I don't get it, but its true), and thinks highly of you.
Another tip: set aside a regular time for her to talk to you about the stuff she needs to talk about. For ages now when i get home I take a quick shower, change into non-work clothes, then my wife and I sit on our 3 season porch and she can talk about stuff. She tells me about her day, the dream she had last night, her friends, her hobbies, all that stuff. I encourage her, commiserate, and so on without interrupting. When she's done is when I drop stuff like Dave and his hand.
It really makes them feel loved and cared for, makes them appreciate you, and defuses most fights before they happen.
