I tend to say something like, "I'm sorry, I've been talking a lot about this." That then gives the person a chance to indicate whether they actually want to hear more, or are happy for the conversation to change direction.

I find that if the other person hasn't spoken for more than a year or two, I've probably been talking too long. Or maybe I'm talking to something other than a person.
Feel free to send me a private message.
