Sometimes I think that my husband does not take me seriously.
Every time I’m talking to him about something that’s important to me it seems like he zones out.
It’s difficult to keep his attention and he rarely engages with the things that I have to say. I honestly have no idea why things are so challenging between us, but I wish that he would listen to me once in a while. For instance, when I tell him what air filter to purchase for our central heating, cooling, and air quality control system it would be awesome if he could actually write down the correct air filter. It’s not a case of me being overly particular about our indoor air quality. This is important for my allergy symptoms and overall immune health. For many years I have been trying to convince my husband that my indoor allergies are a real problem. I can’t breathe or see straight when there are airborne contaminants floating through our central heating and cooling system. No matter what I do, it doesn’t seem like over-the-counter allergy medications help me. However, if we purchase a high-quality HEPA air filter this will absolutely reduce my allergy symptoms. I cannot breathe easily and my eyes stop watering so much when we have a HEPA filtration device in place. Do you think my husband could listen to this simple air filter request and purchase the correct air quality filtration device? Absolutely not. He’s too busy laughing at me for all of the funny sounds that I make when I cough and sneeze. Amazing.
