You must understand its a long way from a womens tongue to a mans ears, things may get lost on the way.

Re: Not listening !

Indeed it just always surprises me when it happens because generally it's quite rare, but it's usually when he doesn't listen it happens

In the end the conclusion was he had taken 2 conversations about phones, one where I said to Grace if we could find one that she could read books on at a reasonable price we would try and get her one for her birthday, because her kindle is my old one and I discarded it because it wouldn't work properly and when she goes to friends houses she does need to be able to call us and not everyone now has a phone, so for safety we think it would be a good idea. And another conversation where I said I was very pleased with my kindle and was remembering to charge my phone more often these days.

He put both together and came up with I was buying an expensive phone for myself.

If he just listened properly, not too much to ask !!
Yes there good at twisting the story line..
We had a fall out yesterday over a tin of Beans!?

Re: Not listening !

If you can ¨fall out¨ over such trivialities, you may have a problem that goes much deeper than a mobile phone spat. So glad I chose to live alone if that´s the alternative. Of course, some couples enjoy a good argument - nowt so queer as folk....

Re: Not listening !

This morning I went into 4 shops in a retail park and at the last one I couldn't find my glasses case in my trolley. It could have fallen out of a pocket, or from the top of my shopping.

I went back into 3 of the shops and asked

'Has anyone handed in a glasses case please?'

One had to have it repeated many times then pointed towards the washing up gloves! Another one (yes, all men) had it repeated a few times but then did go to their counter to ask.

And in Wilko I was offered a case in a different colour.

Well, it's gone missing, and is only a few weeks old (came with new spex). Annoyed.

How hard was it, to understand that question?!

Nothing deeper just lack of cash, if we had the money he would spend it all on me I know that for sure. Never a good idea to make assumptions like that I wouldn't even dare with people I know well.
