Been married over 10 years. Over the past year he has changed. He is in his mid 40s, active, excellent health. In the past year I would say that about 90% of the time he just does not listen to me. I end up repeating thoughts/sentences up to 3 times within about a 4 minute time span and then I say "I've told you 3 times and that's the limit. I'm not telling you again." Then he gets angry and is already quite aggressive and bullying at his baseline. Other women laugh and say, well, that's guys, they don't listen. But this is quite serious as sometimes it has major consequences like he doesn't know where I've gone or he gives dumb/wrong answers to important questions. He is disrespectful in other ways too. My question is, WHAT can I possibly do to make him start listening. I have thought of just not talking at all for about 3 days but that is impossible in a busy household. I have tried saying "from now on I am only to tell you things once and that's it." Doesn't work. Please help -- any suggestions? |
