When you both sit down for dinner, ask her how her day was, and listen to her intently. Make sure she knows you are listening to what she's saying. Then later, when she starts talking about all the same stuff, just kindly tell her that she already told you that. That might make her start to hesitate and think about what she's about to tell you. Good Luck!
I can tell you from experience, that what you're dealing with is far better than having her sit in silence and tell you nothing!
P.S. FWIW, I've been married for 40 yrs - just my .02

you must be hanging on pretty well then haha! I do see where you coming from and indeed if I strike first, that restricts the topic which she can waffle on...only issue is, when you come back brain dead, all you want is food and bed straight after (but then I am being unaffectionate
)
I think it gets on my nerves the most when she tells me about things that;s neither hers or my business, like how her (ex-)friend who now she dislikes mismanages her own finances..... WHAT RESPONSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME WOMAN?!
