To expect my husband to pick up on the subtle clues?
(25 Posts)lol, i know exactly what you mean, although dh picks up on my uh-hu's after a while
clue is in the thread title subtle?!?
if like in this house, NEVER going to happen
I know. Totally unrealistic of me. I'm going to have to tell him to shut up.
lol I have this too, but when hes sober . Its just plain boooooring sometimes! Even when I ignore him, and dont take my eyes off the tv, he STILL carries on!
Your poor DH. He needs a few bevvies to pluck up the courage to share his innermost thoughts with you and this is how you repay him
YABU.My DH has failed to pick up on my 'subtle' clue (exaggerated sighing, rattling the paper, in the end calling by bf to complain that I am bored bored bored of sport on TV) that I am shortly going to stick pins in my eyes if I have to watch anymore league 1 football/PGA Golf/test cricket/Olympic archery-swimming-gymnastics-cycling.He has had all of these on at some point today.I am practically a gibbering wreck and he hasnt even looked up from the screen!
I just say "DH you're boring me" or "I'm not listening" , i've got to say though i'd go bonkers if he said that to me
YANBU, YABUnrealistic!!
Subtle + Man + waste of time.
Just keep saying "uh-huh" every now and then and eventually he'll fall asleep.
Monkies
Normally, MrsO, I say "I don't care" but he's had words with me and explained that people generally find that rude 
so I am trying to avoid it.
ah good.
Better than Georgia the woman he's leaving me for because I never listen to him.
Funny that Hecate my DH says it's rude as well
