Oh... oh gosh. This is exactly what happens between my girlfriend and me. I'm guessing this is what will probably happen years into the future. Thanks. ;)
I'd like to think that much of the time she generally understands me, and bless her heart she really does her best, but sometimes when it gets late my ability to maintain conversation just tapers off and crashes. Now I'm not sure if it's me being rude or it's just some mental block that happens! I really want to believe it's the latter, because my ability to stay engaged diminishes after about 9PM and my mind wanders. It's like a conversation shut-off valve clicks in my head.
The plus side is that she is probably better at reading me than I am, so she usually detects when I'm reaching that point before I do.

I swear we've even had the same conversation.
