Settle An Argument: He Won't Stop Interruptin- Help Us Put This Ongoing Fight to Rest
By Perri O. Blumberg, REDBOOK
Kevin, 34 and Sally, 28, have been together for five years. Whenever Kevin and Sally walk around their neighborhood, Kevin has a tendency to interrupt Sally and point out something they're passing by, such as a funny license plate or classic car. Sally feels this means he's not listening to her, which makes her upset.

Is Kevin being rude, or should Sally just relax?
She says: "When Kevin interrupts me, I wonder if he was really listening to me all along. Whatever I'm saying must be boring to him if he's scanning the neighborhood looking for interesting stuff while I'm talking. I just wish he'd acknowledge what I'm saying before he goes off on a tangent."

He says: "I do think what she has to say is interesting, but I just see something I don't want her to miss. If I waited until she was done talking, I wouldn't get to point anything out."
