Last evening my wife said to me, "You weren't even listening were you?". I thought "What a strange

way to start a conversation!”.

1. LOL! Sounds like my husband.

When I say anything to him I have to repeat it because his first word is "huh?"

7. Yep

When I first started dating my wife she worked into a normal conversation the fact that she was going to cut her hair off and drive to Russia to see if I caught it. Fortunately for me I did. Truth be told I love being around my wife 24/7 as we talk about everything. We’re both great talkers and listeners to each other and it really makes for a great relationship. Of course it helps that she’s a very bright person with a great sense of humor and we’re both ENTJ/P on the Myers-Briggs Spectrum and are highly analytical. It’s all good.

8. Sorry... this is a bit of a sore point:

Honey, the phone is for you.

Nothing....

The phone.

Hey... the phone...


Finally you use that tone....you know the one .... the naggy one. The stereo type
Nag....

Lake get the damn phone...


That’s the one he “hears”... and I’m the nag.

9. This drives me crazy.

It’s so rude! Instead of listening, he fools with his phone or computer. When I ask him what I said, he gets all defensive. Of course, he gets it wrong.

There are always exceptions to the rule but most often we do hear you but are hoping you repeat what you said in a different way more suitable to our warped sensibilities.

13. Being the rabbi again

Many years back, I showed my wife a story I was reading, about a young, studious rabbi that had married a talkative wife. Over the years, he learned to say "Yes", " Probably so", and " You don't say" without having to pause from his reading.
Ever since, if I'm reading and my wife doesn't think I'm paying adequate attention to what she's saying, she asks (loudly) if I'm being the rabbi again.

15. If a man speaks in the woods and there are no women around to hear him...

Is he still wrong?
