I always feel stupid for feeling this way, but after we got the kids in bed I was sitting with my husband, he was watching a show and I was working on an art project. We had been talking so I took a moment and I asked him a question and tried to show him what I was working on. He didn’t respond and after I sat there for a minute in silence holding my project out for him to look at I just quietly went back to working on it. Several minutes went by and then it was like he all of a sudden realized I’d been talking. He tried to make it sound like he’d been listening but what he “thought” I said was nothing even remotely close to what I’d said. It always makes me feel a little hollow inside when this happens, it’s not like a regular occurrence, it just still hurts. I feel a bit like a little kid trying to show something I’m proud of and he just didn’t care.
