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
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.
I’m seeking reassurance that I’m normal! If you walked into a room in the evening where your partner was just pottering ( not reading or concentrating)! and you said “ I’m going up to have a bath now”, wouldn't you expect a response such as “0k see you soon”? Mine ignored me so I repeated what I said twice. I was told ( when I asked why) that it was a statement and didn’t need a response. Is it me?
