HELP. My husband is 43 and refuses to get hearing checked.
I have to repeat nearly everything I say. Ive been doing this for years. Its exhausting and I am reaching my breaking point. I have told him to get his hearing checked 102827363977373 times.
I am starting to get angry and resentful because just communicating with him is a hassle. He says "what" and I roll my eyes, and he gives an excuse... "the TV is on, I was walking away, I was 5 feet away, a butterfly farted in Brazil at the same time you said something". I could be right next to him in a quiet room and have to repeat myself and he would come up with some stupid excuse to why he couldn't hear me. Its never that he CANT HEAR.
At this point I just say never mind, and he gets pissy because I refuse to say it again. After a day of 3 kids, a house hold and work I just dont have the energy to say everything twice. Im getting to the point I would rather not say anything to him.
He refuses to get help for this and it feels selfish that he expects me to have to work double time to communicate when he wont get help to resolve the problem.
