What do you do when someone you are talking to doesn’t pay attention. I have previously also have asked for help here and did get some decent advice to follow which Iam thankful for and once again I need help from you all.
Ok ,here it goes. I know myhusband is not a very good listener ,but few days ago when I was talking to him telling him something abt our daughter, he was just nodding his head and saying good good I could tell he was not paying attention so I said something like then the aliens came and abducted me and he still kept nodding his head and saying good good and then when I confronted him abt what he just did he got mad at me for doing what I did he said when I felt he was not paying attention I should have just let him be and then later should have told him that he was not listening to what I said. But this is something I deal with everyday that’s why I did that .It is really hard to carry a conversation with someone who doesn’t listen well and just says good or ok in most situations
Now I am confused do you think I over reacted that I should have just let it go
What to do if something like this happens again.

Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
^LOL!
Stop talking? I stop talking when I realize my husband has zoned out.

They are not worth listening you.
Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
my husband also does that sometime and seems completely zoned out after a long day at work. but i dont blame him, he works 70hours a week, poor guy, hes just too tired to really pay attention. try talking to your husband when he is not so tired or when he's relaxed like on weekends or if hes home early.
Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
Do you confront him a lot?
Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
My husband and I have this open door policy where we say to each other "wait I'm not listening, sorry u'll have to tell me later", we say that whenever we're zoning out. I usually do that when my daughter is cranky and asking for my attention or I have to complete some task related to her. My husband does it randomly but mostly when he's tired or preoccupied (mentally) with something. Neither of us get angry at the other person ... unless ofcourse he's been collecting negative points for a while in my book :) and an argument is due over unresolved issues.
Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
Thanks guys , I agree that I need to take it easy. I guess it's a common thing . Next time I will stop talking when I realize he is drifting.
Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
Lol, take it light-heartedly. I admit it’s really annoying: women generally have the tendency to talk more, and men to listen less lol. Pick your battles. If you say “you’re not listening to me!!” every time he doesn’t listen, he’s gonna get annoyed! But every now and again, especially when you’re talking about something important, tell him to listen. I usually make him turn the TV off or make him make eye contact with me to make sure he’s listening. It’s like talking to a child sometimes! 
Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
Its not a big deal.
Men zone out - even I zone out.
You need to stop taking things sooo seriously...so what?
Now you know...keep it short if you want him to pay attention.
Everyone zones out.. really everyone DOES!!!
Brevity may be key.
Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
give the guy a break .. at least he nods and say "good good" instead of no no
Re: When someone you are talking to not paying attention
I don't talk too much or ramble on and on for him to get bored and zone out and i don't confront my hubby every time he does that. It still is an annoying habit but after reading everyone's comments on it I now feel its not a big deal it happens and I should just let it go
