In our family it is slightly different. I have a train of thought and expect my husband to be able to interpret it without me having to express it words.

That’s what I’m accused of all the time 😄

I don’t want to be a Dolly Downer, Fun Sponge etc , but please don’t joke about senility

In my case I’m told ‘You solicitors never give a straightforward answer’. If there was one, believe me I would.

My husband asked a silly question this morning, I was slowly pondering. Then he said: "just say yes or no."

I said "yes or no."

He's still pouting. Regardless, he's a sweet man and I adore him.

Applies to politicians too.

And on some threads on GN? ;) !

Thank God I now live on my own as that would drive me crazy.

My DGS is gearing up for this.
Me: What do you want for breakfast?
Him: Look at my Lego!

Glad it's not just my husband sago!! He never answers a question, leaves me feeling he is not acknowledging what I have said - drives me mad 😡

Kate1949 Sun 22-Jan-23 16:29:58

I sympathise to. If mine says something I don't quite hear and I say 'Sorry I didn't hear you', he just repeats the last word. For instance. Him: 'I might go to B&Q tomorrow.'
Me: 'What did you say?'. Him: 'B&Q'.
confused

Sago😂 you have to admit it’s funny tho.

My DH is not deaf either but I have long thought our minds are wired very differently by the way he answers questions.
Very similar to yours Sago.

Oh how I sympathise...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband cannot answer a b@@@@y question.

Here’s an example;

Which suit are you wearing for the wedding?
“I’m not buying a new suit I’ve got plenty”

Which car are you taking in the morning?
“I’ve got to be there for 8, I need to leave at 7.”

Did you order the logs?
“The decorator won’t be coming until after lunch”

He is not deaf or senile.
