Is it normal when I tell my husband something, anything, he just won't remember it. Yet when his sisters, friends, or anybody else tells him something (it could be news from the TV) and it's the same story that I told him about first he will say I didn't tell it to him. I really believe he does not listen to me when I speak.
Also he is good at repeating conversations with other people. For example: My friend said ..... But will not remember what or when I tell him something.
Been married to him for a long, long time. I feel ignored. Is that normal about him not hearing me? Please help.

    Sometimes I get the feeling that my wife has an account here...

    ...just a feeling.

    Seriously though, men really aren't tuned into auditory stimulation, and if you tend to ramble a lot, he may "tune you out" more than you'd like. When others repeat what you've said, he may be more inclined to catch it the second time through, which gives your input more credit. If you hadn't said anything in the first place, he may not catch it at all...

    ...or option two...he's a dick who ignores the woman he committed his life to.

    Maybe you should point it out to him.

      Your option two hits home. I think it goes for all of us. We don't know how good we have it until we lose it.
      Thank you.

      You are right. I think I talk too much and he's learned to tune out. Thank you for pointing it out.

    Men quit listening to their wives after they're married for awhile. What you say is no longer important/valued. I'm so glad I'm single!

    There is a thing called selective attention, it's easy to explain but will take a while so instead you should look it up, basically the mind blocks more useless things out and concentrates on the more important things, also I was going to suggest memory loss but you say he only forgets things you say so I'm not sure, I wonder if there is a conditional or situational memory loss that only occurs to partners that the people are with? I might have a look into that!:) He could be ignoring you but considering your married this will probably not be the case. Do you go out much, getting out and about with him like a meal or some walks etc may help him remember because he will link it to having a fun time with you :) obviously this is an occational solution because unless you are rich you are more than likely not able to afford it? He could be tone def to the tone that you speak in which is unlikely but could occur? Hopefully I've been some help?:) good luck :)
