My husband is aware that there are times he tunes me out, annoying you bet. But, occasionally He/I make it up to me. How?? I do or get something I WANT and when he objects, I look hurt & say,,"If you'd pay attention, we talked about this last week & you said it was fine with you", if he still objects, I get fussy and tell him "You even encouraged IT". It kind of eases the annoyance of being ignored. Bless his heart, by the time I'm done he's saying well it's done now & almost happy. I don't do it often, the last two times was for my dog a new bed & renewing my trial sub to XM radio in my car. OH that & my Donor Awareness license plate.
