Yes, he is a fantastic listener. Probably a better listener than I am. I talk a lot, mostly complaining but he always listens.
i dnt think he actually listen to me. He says okay and un huh but he never as anything good to say back, like he really dont card or something..
Usually;)
Yes he listens to me. Sometimes he gets carried away with trying to fix the situation than to try and empathize with me. Sometimes I have to reiterate to get back on the same page. We're getting better at communicating though :)
He listens to me. <3
Yes he does :)
He absolutely listens to me and surprises me because most of the time I think he isn't listening then he will remember something with such precise detail. Also he is the most supportive man ever. He listens to my rants and raves and my happiness.
Partially. But he often has snide comebacks or remarks that get me frustrated in wanting to share intimate details with him.
He listens occasionally but even when he does he doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying. He only seems to really listen to the unimportant stuff
Sometimes but he is a man how many really listen all the time. Lol I know I don't listen all the time and I'm a girl.
She listens but she don't here what I'm saying and I really wish she did we would not have half the problems we did If she would just here the words that come out of my mouth
So start a new habit called active listening. After each of you say something, respond with "what I heard you say was ..... " and have the listener repeat it back to the speaker.

Even better, he listens AND responds! He's very inquisitive and makes a point to really understand what I'm saying. It means a lot knowing he cares enough about what I say to inquire about something he might not understand entirely no matter how ridiculous the topic.
Yesss <3
Sometimes but recently he just hears complaining and nagging :( more defensive than hearing the true meaning. I want us to work together because we both know what needs to be done.
Yes I think you listen but don't think you hear me...partly because I start yelling I guess and you want to get your point across ...
