make my husband LISTEN to me

these days, he DOES listen.

but. he does not do what i want him to do.

i will now have a new goal: make my husband do what i want him to do.

is the problem with me?

am i too demanding? because i really feel that my husband does not listen to what i am saying, that all he wants to talk about is what is interesting to him. how about my agenda?

i am whining here but more than all the other issues, his inability to listen to me is the one that makes me think of leaving him….

he does not see what i mean. i have talked to him about this many times but we don’t see it the same way (obviously).

but i see him talk to his friends and he listens to them. is it my topic that is not interesting to him? but what is the point of talking to each other if we will talk only of things that interest him?

am i making a mountain out of a molehill?

i’m telling you something, look at me.

i AM looking at you.

no, you were looking at the trees. i thought we were supposed to look at each other when we talk, even when we are enjoying the trees.

i try so hard to teach myself how to fight with my husband constructively but i feel i am going at it alone. i listen to him. i pay attention to him when he tells me things, even things that do not seem very important to me. but he does not do the same to me. its very frustrating!
