Is this a normal thing, to want to share your day with someone regularly? I've never felt the urge to do this, even on notable days. Wondering if anyone can explain their reasoning.

I don't unpack my day very often with my husband - unless it was really stressful. The minutia of my work is completely unrelatable for him. I do want to unpack my work life with people who understand - and I have a great network for that. In contrast, I share almost all of the memes I think are funny with him because I want him to experience the same joy.
