Is it me?

No, I think they go on a course for this sort of buggerance factor. Mine got the diploma.

Mine too, I played him at his own game and he said that I was going deaf ! It was fun though , might start again ha ha .

Yep mine has that certificate also!!!

So if you say ‘i have won the lottery’ it will be dismissed as a statement ?

I used to joke that I could enter the room naked and he would not look up! His Mum warned me when I married him that if I wanted to speak to him whilst reading he would finish his sentence, put his finger on his place, and slowly look up. She said it drove her mad.

Atqui is your DH an engineer by any chance?

Join the club. No, he is not an engineer.

No Jane not an engineer. Could think of some other words but better not print them!

So far it seems my H is the normal one then!!!!

In the mathematical sense of the word

But do they do it to other people?

I would expect at least an OK. Very rude of him, really, to ignore you.

Luckygirl, my DH used to do that. Drove me crackers!

Hahaha....same here! Get same response...."you didn't ask a question"! Drives me nuts too.....but in grand scale of things not worth getting upset over! Maybe a 'man' thing

Nonnie - I doubt it- butter wouldn’t melt !

I could understand it if they were reading or watching something !

If DH does that it is because he has';t heard what I said. Does he have a hearing problem? He assures me that he doesn't.

I have to say everything twice to my husband before he responds. Drives me crackers.
Is he hard of hearing? Yes.
Does he have hearing aids? Yes.
Will he wear them? NO

Ladies, you are missing a trick here! My DH is exactly the same, never listens or acknowledges anything when I tell him. I therefore use it to my advantage, slip out to the shops/cinema/out with friends etc. If he ever queries it, I say "I told you, but you never listen!"

So reassuring that it’s not just in this household!

Mine is just the same, doesn't respond to comments. I've started doing the same with him, but it feels so rude.

Try adding the words: "....because I want to be clean and beautiful for my 39 year old lover, who is calling for me in an hour's time....." And even : "So I may see you some time tomorrow.....if I have the strength....."

Oh dear, this brought a chill to me. I remember my ex husband began to do this: I would repeat what I had said, and he would snap “ I heard you the first time!” And he would say “I answered you!” Once, my daughter was with us, and she challenged him: “dad, you didn’t answer.”
