Does anyone else have a partner who suffers from selective hearing....my hubby has a chronic case of it! When I'm talking to him, he says he hasn't heard me but if I say I'm putting the kettle on, his hearing is perfect...... grrrrrrrr [:D]

Hubby is actually deaf in one ear from when he had mumps as a child, but sometimes he is just a bit more deaf than usual, if you know what I mean.[;)] It's just men you know, we're not affected![:X]

Apparently I squint if I can't hear something!
Dave says I've got selective hearing, but I say it's because he mumbles!
