I think he does.
I think he hears me but doesn't really listen. He often doesn't remember conversations we had.
Probably too much for his own personal sanity and happiness.
He's a great listener, especially when I let him know that I really need his full attention. I don't know what I'd do without him.
Yes and he can multi task while doing so.
I have learned that there is a right time and a wrong time to speak up. I am working on trying to be a better communicator. When the time is right, Jen is the best listener.
As for regular daily stuff not relationshippy stuff, Jen is first class. She bought forks. I can't believe that. That was world class.

Yes. I hope : )
Yes he does. He has his moments where I feel like he's tuned out but for the most part he hears me.
Sometimes, my brain is also busy ... when we're chit chatting casually, and my brain is sometimes pre-occupied, I guess sometimes I do some passive listening. But if it's something important to talk about, I give it my full attention.

Meestal wel en ze begrijpt ook veel. :)
More times than she will probably admit.
Nope. But she says the same thing about me
Yes, she's the best.
Hmmm she might say yes, but I would say no. I think she hears me, but she does not listen to me.
Yes she does. She is amazing :)
Nothing like a nod and smile to make everything better! Yes he listens well, but always tries to fix things :-)
I feel like that is a trait of every man...
