My boyfriend and roommate do this to me all the time, but oddly, my roommate is better at recognizing when I'm getting frustrated with them, and will often interrupt the conversation to note that I have something to say and that they'll shut up in a minute so I can say my piece. I suppose part of it is that in other social situations, I am very much a talker and they are not, so when we are home and it's just the three of us, they have to make up for all the talking they didn't do elsewhere. I'm also in more social situations more often--the nature of what I do (student, intern teacher, childcare worker) dictates that. They, on the other hand, are students in disciplines that don't require a lot of complicated or varied interaction (engineering and forestry).
