Yes.
He has his moments. But for the most part he just hears and doesn't really listen.
Most of the time he Does listen but not for the reasons I want him to listen for! He listens to me to hear what he wants to hear an even thou that includes the things I want him to hear he either ignores that or uses it when it benefits him somehow !
Yes.
Yes
I wish he would listen and ask me questions about what I said so that I know he was interested.
Most of the time
No, but that's half my fault for talking about silly stupid things like my period.
He lies to much to even take time out to listen
Yes, but we both struggle occasionally with overcoming our own personal egos to listen to another person. It's never been a huge conflict in terms of truly listening to each other, though. I think this is the one area that we will continue to learn and adapt in for many, many years to come.
Yes he does! Unfortunately we both get busy and focused on other things so we try to be more attentive when the other needs us to be.
Sometimes. Depends on if his phone is in his hands
Not always, it depends on what he is doing! I know that if I tell him it's important and also say it will be quick he usually respond well ;)
No
They listen but more than that they try and understand what I said and not what they just wanted to hear.
