Lots of humor here, ladies! Love it! But Beckstar and Ruth, your posts take the cake! LOL!
No Atqui, as you can see it's not you. My DH is another one like this. But when he's talking, he expects me to hang on his every word, never mind if I'm in the middle of reading or whatever. Always been this way. IDK if it's an offshoot of the old double standard for husbands and wives or if men are just naturally more self-absorbed/less attune to the needs of others/women.
Love the suggestion to just not say anything and let him ask. Bet he'll pay more attention then. But if you feel you must tell him if you're going into the shower, etc. (b/c he needs to know where you are/that the shower won't be available for a while, etc), then please just don't expect a response. You gave him the info. If he wasn't listening, that's on him.
