At all times!
I'm glad 2 answer this question with an 'Yes'. Lately he certainly does.
You try but our minds work differently so you don't always understand what I am saying!
Usually yes although lately he is becoming more and more like me.
That depends. She is a great listener, and tends to remember WAY more about the things I tell her than I remember about the things she tells me. However, it seems to me that sometimes when she doesn't understand or agree with my point-of-view, she discounts it out of hand as invalid.
Yes he is.
Huh?

His a great listener and turns to remember way more than I remember even the things I tell him.....
I don't know how many others read these posts, but did you read that! I listen! That has not always been the case.
Most of the time. When it is something he feels guilty about he gets defensive. But as far as a conversational partner, he's always a great listener. When we first started dating he used to tell me I could talk about whatever I wanted, he was happy to hear the sound of my voice.
Yes, he is an amazing listener, and always acknowledges the person who's talking. He's an inspiration to me.
I always feel like I have her attention
Yes she does and continues to learn more and more the language of my heart. In conflict we both are very passionate about certain principals, but we are getting better about truly listening and taking appropriate action on what we hear. I am still very much a fixer and problem solver associated with my listening skills. I need to get better at having conversations based on feelings not solutions. I know my baby listens because she takes care of my heart. In time I hope she will say the same.
Sometimes
Yes! He is an awesome listener! He also has an uncanny ability to know when to just listen and when to respond.
Usually but sometimes he doesn't take the time to understand me
