Does anyone else's partner do this?
DH will ask me a question and when I answer he will ignore what I say if it doesn't go along with the answer/scenario he must have decided already in his head.
This is usually when he's annoyed about something. Say if he asks me where something is that he needs and I say I don't know where it is, because I don't, he will carry on as if I have said I hid it or moved it. So then I will respond again with the fact I haven't seen or touched it and again he will ignore that and be annoyed with me.
I tend to then just walk away and have stopped letting it escalate into an argument because you can't argue with him once he's decided a story in his head. He just wont listen.
