How to get guys to listen

LEAVE THEM. THEN THEY WILL START TO LISTEN. I am tired of books and articles telling me how to make men listen or help around the house or stay interested in you etc. They need to be doing all this stuff just because. Like the same reason we keep doing laundry and making their meals and taking care of the house and kids (sometimes all alone). If they can't figure out how to listen, then maybe they just need the sounds of silence. Like coming home to an empty house.

    I agree, tough love is the only way or they'll walk all over you. Tell him you appreciate some mutual respect or you'll find it somewhere else.

    yeah, that would be real heart break. No more whining. Maybe if the conversation was intellectually stimulating and based on logic/reason instead of emotional whining men would listen.

    How about a husband [on paper] who just walks away when you try to even start a conversation about ANYTHING, and gives appointments to talk by email? Last appt. I had was Nov. '06. still waiting for another. I am rather sick of the whole mess. Would you like his email address?

    Yeah, guys are such pricks. Who could imagine not wanting to listen to a woman vent about the irrational decisions she's made that caused further emotional distress to her fragile psyche???

    Only smart thing any woman on here has said. It's refreshing to not see some annoying girl think she needs to be on her guys mind 24/7.
