I think that was well said actually Al. My hubby may not hear me every time, but then again, after 20 years of marriage, I dont hear him every time either. I believe it becomes a "habit" moreso than an actual - we're so used to each other sometimes we automatically say "uh huh" or "hmmm...thats nice" because he's talking about work or I'm talking about... *laughing now* Chickens! He'll call me out on it or I'll call him out on it... either directly "Did you just hear a thing I said?" Or... indirectly "Oh yeah, and my boyfriend stopped by today and we had wild sex...he left this for you".... and if he says "Uh huh" then it's usually followed by a "What did you just say? Sex??" LOL
He usually starts to pay attention....and I call him on it (or vice versa).
Sometimes its a comfort zone thing and not so much an "I'm ignoring you" thing - but I do agree...he should acknowledge you regardless - one time is one thing, but if it keeps happening over and over again - you need to get to the bottom of the deeper issue.
