He says I never listen to him, and I say I didn't hear him
because I was running water, he had his back to me while he was talking, or I
thought we were done talking and I'd already walked out of the room. lol We
laugh about this all the time and wonder if we're losing our memory, or is it
really the excuses we give.
It could be age, but I don't think that's the whole answer.
All of us live busy lives, and it's hard to slow down and listen to those
around us. We often listen with half an
ear while doing something else. It's
easier to listen to a friend that you only see once in awhile than to a spouse
you spend day and night with.
My husband and I love each other, and we tell each other often,
but we could spend more time listening to one another. Smile!
What do you and your spouse do? I'll be eager to hear comments on this.
Have a great week, and I'll see you next weekend.
Best always,
Sandra K. Marshall

Oh Sandy, mine never listens. He frustrates me to no end. lol I tell him something and he swears I never told him. :)
My hubby mumbles and it frustrates him when I have to ask him to repeat. But I agree, we don't always listen to those who are most important to us. We also jump to conclusions and think we know what they are saying, so we hear what we want.
Thanks for sharing!
Amber, my husband says I don't hear him. lol Both of us working around airplanes may have some hearing damage.
Melissa, my husband mumbles,too. Not only that when he watches television he gives a commentary on everything, so I can't hear what's being said on TV. lol Men, you just have to love them.
I think we tune out each other at times...just normal behavior! He mumbles at times...and then talks to me when I'm trying to write! AACK!
I can relate to all your answers ladies. I call it selective hearing. When it comes to hunting and fishing or something he's really interested in, you can bet my hubby listens to every detail.
I don't think I'm that bad. At least I hope not!
