When I wanna talk to my boyfriend he is always doing something, either on the computer, playing video games, or watching TV. And when he doing that he don't listen to me. I'lltry to talk to him and I wait for a reply but he won't give me nothing. So then I'll call his name, he'll say what, and then I'll repeat myself and I still don't get an answer. Then I have to call his name again, he'll say what, then I repeat myself, and still no answer. Then he wonders whyy I get mad at him and hang up!
Him and my best friend don't get along. And when he pointed out that my boyfriend don't listen to me, he brought it up. He asked me if I think he don't listen to me, and I said yeah. So then he said he was going to change.
Thing is, I see no change. He still don't listen to me. He ingores me and everything. I know with some people change is a big thing, but I don't see what' so hard with changing that about you. All I ask is that he listens to me!

    How hard it is to "change" is going to depend on a variety of factors, as I have been in this situation before, except vice versa (the girl was doing it to me)-

    1. Are you giving them enough personal time? Guys need "me time" and time with their friends just as much as girls do- how he chooses to spend that, so long as he is loyal, is his prerogative.

    2. Have you directly addressed the issue with him? If you haven't, he might not see it the same way you do, or even truely realize that he is engaging in such behavior. Make it known that you aren't happy about it, but do so tastefully.

    3. If you've addressed the above, I'd really start to question how much he values you, or whether you truely want to be in a relationship where this is occuring; I know that when I'm in a relationship, I give the girl the majority of my attention regardless of the situation. IE- if he is doing something so important that he can't remember the gist of the last 3 sentences you spoke, it better be important- at least thats how I view it.

    Now, keep in mind that adjustments take time- if this behavior has been going on for a while, it'll be a bit before he (if he does) change. Give him that time and take it from there.

    Best of luck,

You are stupid, and therefore wrong.
