So..I am sitting here minding my own business

[pigletgirl]

Haha, that made me smile. Guys, gotta love 'em!

And as of right now, you're at 9,993...7 more to go!

My mom does this all the time.


The most famous one was when she was standing in the room and told us someone we didn't know died. Right after that, to our puzzled faces she says,"That's what I mean," in a very concerned voice.


I'm still clueless to this day.

Ok, I know I shouldn't be... and I'm sure the 2 glasses of Reisling aren't helping... but I am SHAKING with laughter over this one. Seriously, My family came flying into the living room to see what was so funny and I couldn't even speak.

Tears are streaming down my face. I almost dropped my laptop! I can TOTALLY picture it!

At least he remembers some of the conversation. Each time I have to talk to my husband about the same issue we have talked about I have to repeat everything I said in the original conversation and it is all new to him.

 

[cepmom]

my DH does that all the time too...makes me nuts!! Also, I am slightly hard of hearing; always askng people to repeat what they said as I didn't quite catch it all. When DH says something I didnt catch, I say "what was that?" and then instead of repeating the entire thing, he just says one word...like I'm supposed to understand what he's talking about!

This reminds me, in an opposite kind of way, about the time when my husband came flying into the kitchen, very excited, and said to me, "Remember that one guy, Chris Thomas? What was his name again?"

Dumbfounded, I said to him, "Chris Thomas?"

He snapped his fingers and yelled, "Yes! That's it! Thank you." and ran out of the room.

I was seriously worried about him after that.

My DH does it too. Mostly in the car. We can be sitting quietly and suddenly he start talking - except he is in the middle of some conversation and I have no idea what the heck he is talking about..... He may have been thinking about it for ten miles, but it the first I have heard of it. Sometimes, I think he thinks about what I *might* say and somehow - at least in his mind - we have had a meaningful conversation.

I am laughing so hard at this thread. I love that other people's families do the same thing.

DH is out on the deck grilling himself some lunch. He just opens the slider and asks me this...now, mind you, did not had any prior conversations going on.

"So, what was the guys name he referred you to?"

WTH???? I look at him and say WHO?

"Your dentist."

OK..so my dentist referred me to see an oral surgeon to take out my wisdom teeth. YESTERDAY, I found out he was not in my dental plans network. YESTERDAY..we had a conversation about me going to my own oral surgeon. My dental insurance does not require a referral.

DH does this all the time. It's almost like he is reliving a conversation we had days ago in his mind, but he is not aware that I am no longer a part of it. I am supposed to be a mind reader. He never names names. He just starts this random conversations, as if I had been a part of them all along.

(Just rambling to get to 10,000 posts!)

I do the same thing to my husband it makes him go insane. I must admit that I don't think that it will ever change for me either

 

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

DH will stop by the living room on his way to the kitchen for a drink and say "Oh, that's What's His Name". I usually keep quiet even though know who he thinks it is, but I leave it to him to come up with the name on his own.

 

[Mermaid02]

My dh does that too- I have to do a quick scan of my memory and I can USUALLY figure it out and jump into the conversation without missing a beat. Other times he's talking and pauses- and I just dive in and finish his thought. Then he says, "yeah". I think it means we've been together a LONG time.

 

[LuvOrlando]

Your thread made me giggle.

I know you guys are talking about annoyances but I think it's sweet, I hope I'm as lucky. I'd love to be around when my DH start's to forget conversations, then it's be my turn to tease him instead of the other way around.

 

[Disney1fan2002]

Loving these stories! I am so glad I am not alone.

 

[bettymae1121]

DH does this to me all the time. Then he gets mad at me when I look all confused because "I should know what he's talking about, everyone else does so why don't I?"

No dear, eveyone else is just as confused as I am, they're just more polite!

 

[ols386]

DH and I both do that sometimes. I guess we expect each other to be mind readers.

 

[kellyg403]

My dh is very similar..too much information in one conversation causes an overload in his brain I think. Every day we talk about my work schedule, yes it changes every week BUT..as soon as I know it I post it on the fridge. Everyday we talk about what shift I work the next day, what they are having for dinner if I am not here...blah blah. Its gotten so I don't even tell him its posted on the fridge, I figure he just has to talk about it...

And usually when he has one of the moments OP's dh had its centers around cash. He shakes his head and pretends like he is listening when we are having that type of conversation, then two days later he will start right in the middle of the old conversation because it dawns on him it might cost him money, and trust me that is something he hates. He is the financial person in the family and I am glad he is but sometimes..... DD graduated JUNE 12 and yesterday he was looking at the cc bill and asked what I had purchased at Old Navy on JUNE 10...the outfit for the grad party for dd...we talked about it. Well, I talked about it!
