This topic is a pet peeve of mine. Thanks for posting it Princess. It's good to know I'm not alone on this one.

It’s probably demeaning for my husband, but sometimes I pretend to toot a horn while calling out, “Attention attention.” He then raises his eyebrows in an exasperated way, and after I’ve told him what I want to say, there is still only a 50% chance that he really listened. I think his mind wanders off to what he “thinks” I’m saying.

It has got increasingly worse the past year. So bad, that I’m starting to worry if there is another reason behind this. He had his hearing checked…and it’s 100%...But they didn’t peep in my voice level…which gets increasingly higher, the more I notice that he isn’t LISTENING!!!!!!

Of course your right Dotsie, when he tells me something while I’m on the phone or computer…I have no idea what he said either….But if he is looking at me with no other distractions around, and still doesn’t get it,…well then, I wonder, should I worry?
