I snapped at my husband today, it was the last straw for me. He zoned out when watching stuff on YouTube, to, etc and I’m left talking to my self - him ignoring me (even though he doesn’t think he is)

I was talking to him he wasn’t watching tv and he done it again, I spoke and there was nothing back, so I snapped ‘I might as well talk to myself, you just completely ignore me’ he got defensive and said ‘you know I zone out, it’s not my fault, it’s the way my brain works’

we ended up having a disagreement over it. He things I’m being unreasonable Am I?

You need to start throwing the word blowjob at random parts of your talk. Their heads flip up and their attention comes back to you amazingly swiftly.

What's his hearing like generally? If I want to speak to DH I have to touch his arm or say his name loudly before I say anything but he is partially deaf. If I don't I get ignored which is annoying.
Why does he zone out? Has he always done that? Is he autistic (only because DD says her brain works differently and she is autistic)? I guess you'll have to get his attention first but I know it's bloody irritating.
If it's a new thing I think I'd be a bit worried though.
