Talking to DH (especially about something important to me) and he’s just on Instagram scrolling through memes or similar. How is this acceptable? Anyone else’s husband do this sort of thing? I appreciate lockdown has increased phone use but still!

Does he know that what youre talking about is important to you?

Did you challenge him on it?

My DH does it, drives me nuts. I've told him I'm just going to stop talking if he is on his phone.

Is he twelve years old?

If dh does this I say ah shame I was asking if you fancied a shag!! Too late the mood has passed now..
He pays much more attention these days...
Grin

he is not interested in what you are saying....

next time, kick him in the balls. that will get his immediate attention and he might think twice about doing it again.

You are a genius 😂😂😂

It’s so bloody childish. I told him it’s rude and he got all stroppy and “can’t see the issue”.

It is rude. Do you do the same to him? I would start.

ShowOfHands · 08/05/2020 22:18

DH does this. I stand in silence and then he gets all affronted and sighs "I was listening" but I refuse to speak until he puts down his phone.

Totally depends on how much you talk. If your constantly babbling all day he probably just assumes it’s your usual droning and carries on doing what he wants. Not saying you do drone, but women sure do talk lots more than most men.
