oh no my husband is going deaf...
it's quite curious though, because the only voice he can't hear is mine.
just now:
me: "use the rags downstairs to clean the car. they are in the cabinet in the laundry room or right under the cabinet on the shelf. don't use any other towels (we've had an issue with this in the past)."
him: "where are they?"
and yesterday:
him: "thanks for the jiffy lube coupons you left out for me. you should take one, because i don't need that many."
me: "i already did."
him: "that's a good deal. you should really take one for yourself."
me: "i did, i got one."
him, later: "you want one of those coupons?"
me: "alksedjflkajdlfkjasdljfalskdjflaksjdflkasjdf!!!!!!! i TOLD you i got one!!!!!!"
Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.
Re: oh no my husband is going deaf...
men!
our problem is this:
me: "hey can you bring me the applesauce so i can feed B? it's in the pantry"
H: "sure. where in the pantry? i dont' see it. it's not here. there isn't any applesauce. we're totally out"
me: "really? bc i just saw it in there. in fact, i just bought a new thing of it. it should be in there"
H: "nope, definitely not in here. no where to be found!"
me: after getting up and walking to pantry myself "you mean THIS applesauce is no where to be found?"
grrrrrrrrr EVERY FREAKIN TIME i ask him to get something. he can't find it, he's looked everywhere and...magically, when i get up to go look, it's RIGHT WHERE I SAID! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sounds like his memory... not his hearing lol.
First weight loss goal - 40lbs... DONE! Second weight loss goal - 17lbs...
ugh this is maddening! my h also likes to yell from downstairs to ask me a question. i can never hear what he's saying or he can't hear what i'm saying, so why he continues to do this is beyond me.
Thankfully I don't have this issue (yet) but FFIL is awful with this stuff. Example:
Over winter break while I was up there, we had dinner with his parents. His dad is literally right next to his mom.
....Couple minute conversation about bridesmaids dresses....
FMIL: "Blah blah blah so we don't need to go to David's Bridal tomorrow because they don't have the right dress anyway."
2 minutes later....
FFIL: "So what time should we go look at dresses tomorrow?"
Mine is more blind than deaf but is both.
"What is for dinner?"
ummmm I mean I told you yesterday and the day before. it is also written on the weekly planner in large black letters on the fridge.
We totally have the "I can't find it" problem in our house.
I have to know where everything is in the house, because if I don't we'll never find it.
True Story- FIL gave H the only set of keys for his motorhome. H was supposed to make a duplicate when he went to work. H proceeds to put them someplace and doesn't tell me where he's putting them. Weeks later FIL wants the keys back and he'll make his own duplicates since H never got around to it. 2 hours later he finally finds them. I never saw them, so I didn't even know what they looked like, and H wasn't positive anymore either.
After that I told him that he has to tell me where he's putting something so I'll know where it is.
Just last night he was in the bathroom and asked where the fingernail clippers were, he couldn't find them. I told them if they weren't in there then they would be on my dresser or nightstand. He checks both places and still can't find them. I go into the bathroom and proceed to find them, where they always are!!
I swear they are blind!!
My Profile
You guys have me laughing for real over here.
I deal with the exact same thing every.single.day. Especially situations like what Bucks mentioned. Omg... OPEN.YOUR.EYES! lol
Oh man I think instead of male pattern baldness it should be male pattern blidness.
I cant say anything on the hearing front, b/c I'm usually the culprit of that. Although sometime I honestly dont think he told me in the first palce.
H is to the point now where if I say "Do you seriously want me to get up and find it?" he suddenly finds what he was looking for.
Love it!
J just never retains any information. It's not that he just doesn't see something, it's that he forgets what it actually looks like! All he manages to find in the fridge is his beer. As for food, he NEVER sees it. He also never sees empty bottles, dirty dishes, or his keys.
As for listening, I can tell him something 5 times, and he'll ask me about it.. and I'll tell him... and then the next day he'll ask again.. and doesn't understand why I refuse to repeat myself AGAIN
All of the above for sure!!!! H needs to be left alone for almost 45 minutes before I can say anything. (I'm up at 5:30 and he sleeps in until like 8 most days. By the time he wake up, I'm dieing to talk to someone.)
My H is just typical man, can't find anything, don't see anything, can't hear anything, blames me for things not being right... It's a beautiful combo.
Awesome. So fun. Super Fantastic.
Oh man that pretty much describes my morning. When H was bitching at me for not know which building the clinic was in I snapped "I'm sorry I forgot you were the perfect one"... then I felt bad b/c I know he was stressing but I was just done.
