i think so as long as she is not watchin tv or computing.lol
Only when it's about me moving in or intimate things.
Heck Yes!
I think he does! He always makes me feel like what I say is taken to heart. I love that about him.
Yes but only if he's not doing something else (computer, phone or ipad) or if he has a lot on his mind, those are the times he only hears bits and pieces.
Usually no, I feel like she actively hears but doesn't really listen like it's in one ear and out the other. She has such issues with focus it tends to be something along the lines of maybe hearing the first thing I said and then she's off onto something new her mind is thinking about. The same goes for working on stuff she'll start one project on her list get caught up in 5 others she discovered along the way and forget about the 3 important things she had on her to do list for the day.
Yes my boyfriend always listens to me and every little thing i have to say. He always asks questions to what I talk about so I know that he is interested. Great listener!
We think we do. But many times after a plan falls apart, one of us will say "I said....", and the other will have no recollection of that conversation. We've been talking about that...I hope we're both listening!
Yes, as long as what I'm saying is interesting.
Hahahahhaha we were just talking about this. We only listen to each other half way we usually miss the main point. But we recognize this and are working to fix it.
Yes he does especially when I need to vent he just listens and consoles me and gives me the Godly advice I need to hear.
Yes - assuming I'm not competing with the tv, paper, iPhone, iPad, etc!
He hears what he wants to hear sometimes, but over all he's getting better. I'm the same way.
yes
Yes. He is very good at being patient and listening to me. Being a good listener is one of the qualities I like best about him. Many times when I am stressed, just having him listen calms my nerves.
