Does anyone else have a wife not capable of understanding...

[Armedtrigger01]

I can't believe you slackers...

What are you doing in the kitchen?

I was wondering the same thing lol

[Jewmadbro?]

What about talking to someone else while they are on the phone with you because THEY called YOU about something they "need".

this is the worst. i hate that crap.

My wife can be sitting 4 inches from me talking to me while I'm looking at her and I won't hear a word. She'll notice me looking through her, get up and say "you're not listening."

So I'll sit there a few more seconds and start talking about something I want to talk about. Sometimes, brain damage has it's uses

So it won't ever change even if I go retarded and marry her. I already deal with almost everything in this thread. I've decided long ago that women are merely shaved housecats. Needy, whiny, very irritating when ignored.

"Oh hi... I noticed you're reading something that's not about me and that you look very focused on something that's not about me. I want you to focus on me now. K THX."

So what you're saying is you want to return to your gay roots?

[STANGGT40]

I really love it when she has her back to me, walking away, on the other side of the house and acts like I'm supposed to hear her.

mine does that all of the time...she also loves to have a full blown conversation with me, while i'm zoned out on something else...she'll then ask if i'm ignoring her, when i don't respond. she's a trip sometimes! i also love it when she continues a conversation that hasn't even been brought up for days or even weeks, and she continues it like we were just talking about it seconds before. i'll be all kinds of confused, ask her about it, and she'll tell me the subject and act like she can't believe that i didn't immediately pick up on what she was talking about. after i point these things out, she'll usually realize it and laugh about it.

"why did you say yea to that?!?!"
"um..sorry i wasn't listening to you at all"
"You're not listening to me??"

No, I guess I want a girlfriend with a mute button.

[talisman]

No, I guess I want a girlfriend with a mute button.

Doesn't everyone?

[Cheezebandit]

Lofl, one sentence in and I'm trying to recall the firing order of a sbc.

I lol'ed

[ELVIS]

I want a girlfriend with a mute button, with a girlfriend with a mute button.

god bless.

[Txstang1]

hahaha, I've fumbled through the back of my wife's hair before. She's all "wtf are you doing ?" I said I'm looking for the fucking "off" switch. She doesn't care for that too much.

[Treasure Chest]

...that when I'm reading/engrossed in something I don't hear a damn word she's saying? Seriously, it's like she thinks I do it intentionally, truth is I can't hear a damn thing she's saying and she takes it personal every time. Wondering if anyone else has this same phenomenon in their house.

I usually end up needing to tell him something or other while he's engrossed on something long and technical. It's not that I do it on purpose, I just have a bad habit of starting in on the conversation before I've fully broken the plane of the room. This is usually followed by a hard stare and the double blink, because I've totally broken his concentration, and he now has to start over.

If it was something really long and involved, and he was almost to the end of it. I'll get the close out, device down, folded hands in lap, the LOOK of keen annoyance, and the double-triple-double blink. After that happened a few times, I got a little better about my spatial awareness.

She's still in the quiz portion of our early marriage.

Oh. You think that's a phase... Women are either quizzers or they aren't. If she's a quizzer, it's not going to get better. I'm not a quizzer, but I learned a long time ago that all men have selective hearing. It's simply his way of keeping his sanity until he loses his hearing.

My grandparents marriage lasted until the day he died, but my grandfather swore it was because he was completely deaf. We could walk into the house at any given time, and my grandmother would be on a tear about something. My grandpa would be at the table, reading a book and nodding every now and then. He was completely checked out. He'd wouldn't even realize we were there until we touched his arm, and that's when he'd discreetly turn his hearing aides back on.

I've learned to send Robert a text message if it's something that's really important. There may or may not be a follow up conversation, depending on whether or not he responded to the text. He may tune me out when I'm speaking, but I know I have a documented paper trail.
