Mamacita says: On occasion, my husband and I have what one might euphemistically call “slight miscommunication” episodes. I’m sure I don’t know why he can’t seem to understand me, but it probably has something to do with the fact that he’s a man a very busy person.
I’m busy, too, but I have no problem whatsoever understanding me.
For example:
Him: Do you want to eat out tonight?
Me: I haven’t eaten anything yet today.
What’s not to understand? Of COURSE I want to eat out!
Him: How big a tip should I leave?
Me: It’s a buffet.
Duh.
Him: Did you stop by the new house today?
Me: The cabinets are beautiful!
How could I know that unless I stopped by and saw them?
There are others, but thinking about them makes me worry about his state of mind.
I know! I was just talking about this to my husband. The other thing I hate is when I ask a question and I get the same question back:
Me: So where do you want to eat tonight?
Him: I don’t know. Where do you want to eat tonight?
Me: Did you want to go see that movie we were talking about?
Him: I don’t know. Do you want to go see that movie?
Him: What do you want for dinner tonight?
Me: I’m not sure. I don’t feel like x or y. Maybe a or b? Which one sounds better to you?
Him: I don’t know. Do you want a or b more?
(This one is an example of how I do NOT answer his question with the same question, but he still ends up asking me the same question I asked AGAIN.)
GRRRRR!
