OK, y'all know the song and dance by now. I can say something to hubby, clear as day, and five minutes later, he won't recall a word I said. I can repeat it several times. Even if he acknowledges it and responds, it still falls out of his head almost immediately.
Well, it isn't that he won't listen to *me.* And it isn't that he won't listen to *women.*
This morning, while closing church service, pastor asked all of the men to stay behind for a few minutes and have a short meeting about an upcoming event. In fact, he mentioned it twice. Not two minutes later, as I'm heading to the door, I notice hubby is right there beside me as usual. I was a little puzzled. "Aren't you staying?"
If I was puzzled, he looked absolutely baffled. "Staying? What am I staying for?"
He had no recollection of the pastor mentioning anything at all about the men staying behind.
It is so frustrating when things like this happen. BUT, since it isn't going to change, and it isn't just me, how can I stop those feelings of frustration and not be irritated about it?
