I find that sometimes just ignoring him can get a response out of him. :mrgreen: I definately can relate to those scenarios.

Or he comments on my tone. LOL. Other times I'll tell him in 5 minutes I'm leaving to go to xxxxx. And when I'm leaving he'll ask where I'm going. Ah!

Just in case women need any reassurance, this is not a conscious decision. After many years of nagging, our brain automatically filters out the requests to complete tasks. It may even initiate some suitable communication back. As an example 'Chris, can you take the rubbish out and do the washing please?' 'uh-huh, sure hon, let me just finish this post off a sec' Doesn't sound too bad? Unfortunately I will have zero recall of the conversation with 2 minutes. Now, if I'm lucky, after finishing the post, I'll check what needs doing, and maybe complete 1/2 of the requested task, but still not recall what was actually required of me... Basically, it is nothing personal, and we don't always even have conscious control over the process. I have to agree with most of that.
