I had a complete temper tantrum last night. It was directed at my husband. The reason for the temper tantrum was because he doesn't LISTEN to me when I talk. (I will pause here while every woman with a husband/significant other nods their head knowingly.)
I could make a list a mile long of instances where where I've told him something, we'll discuss it and later he'll have absolutely no recollection of it. Sometimes it's days later, sometimes it's MINUTES.
Last night he made a comment about giving his old laptop to Shelby, because hers has bit the dust. He rarely uses this laptop. I looked at him in amazement and said "Uh...you already GAVE that laptop to Shelby...about 2 weeks ago." He said "Really? Are you sure I didn't say I was THINKING about it?" I started laughing and said "My feelings aren't hurt anymore. Apparently I'm not the only one you don't listen to...you don't listen to yourself either!"
P.S. He was completely unaffected and unaware of my temper tantrum. Because he wasn't listening.
