Yeah, wouldn't work with my mrs, she is wise to my not listening, she now expects the answer to be relevant, as opposed to the usual "yes definatley".

How can I help would just make her laugh and would expose my not listening further.

Sometimes I can be looking straight at her, trying to listen, but my brain goes off on a wonder mid way through her conversation. But to be fair to me, she does talk a lot, she has a skill of linking one conversation to the next and we can talk for hours with me not saying a word!



And Miles you just need to earn some man points my friend, you sound like you are running low on them. Spend a week being super husband and you'll recoup enough for the rest of the year. Do the dishes, make bed, clean something, flowers, random meal out etc etc. You now need to convince her that you haven't turned into a lazy xbox loving, sport watching, beer drinking bastard (even though you are) this way she'll know you do give a shit and she'll feed bad for being a bitch.
