Ok so me and my husband have been together for 7 years. He is a good guy and a great father to our daughter. I love him alot and I know he loves me. But he has a bad habit of ignoring me. I'm not real needy and dont expect him to spend all his time with me and pay lots of attention to me but I would like to be herd when I say something. I'm a stay at home mom and he is the provider so I understand he is tired when he comes home and I try to let him have his time to relax and go do stuff with his freinds on his days off. But I always ask him how is day was and I try to tell him maybe a couple things that happened in my day. Lots of time he will just tune me out and not pay any attention. Sometimes he will just walk out of the room when I'm in the middle of talking. When I'm in the middle of talking his phone will ring not a important call but he will answer it and just start talking cutting me off not even saying hold on one second or something. It is extremely annoying I dont try to talk his ear off I just make little conversation and he doesnt listen to anything. I feel like we have no communication. He never starts a conversation with me either. Seems the only time he pays any attention to me is when he wants sex. Is this normal for men to do or is just my husband.

    Uh, he's your husband. He ought to be interested in you for more than just sex.

    I say ignore him back for a while. Stop asking him about his day, stop telling him about yours, and don't have sex with him for a while. If he stops paying attention to you completely and it doesn't seem to affect his life negatively, then I guess it isn't really worth it.

    Yeah that's not normal. Smack him upside his head with a frying pan. Chances are you will have his full attention by then.

    My husband does this too!! I point it out to him, and he stops for a while. He doesn't realize he is doing it. But then he slips right back into it. I hate it because it feels like I'm being too needy, and I'm not that type of wife either.

    Bring it up during sex, he'll listen then ;p

    Most men are trained to sustain this. Guess your guys missed that course.

    It likely will not improve and there were probably signs of this when you were dating, pre-pregnancy. Get away from his limited ass.

    Yeah! I almost ignored you just now, but my wife said I should type this post. She's always nagging me about something.

    I'd say the proper person to ask these questions to would be your hubby. As a man, I can attest that we often are oblivious of problems in a relationship unless we are directly told. If things go "as normal" we assume nothing is wrong. He may just be an asshole, but I don't know him, you do. I'd say try talking to him about what bothers you and try to find where he is coming from. Let him know that you need emotional support too, not just physical or financial. Emotions are a tricky subject for most men to wrap their heads around, we tend to be more logical.

      Yea I have talked to him about it before and he tries not to do it. It works for awhile but then he ends up doing it again he says that he doesnt really notice or think about it when he does it. That it is not on purpose he just gets distracted easily but it is extremely annoying.
