I’ll say something, and he’ll respond with “what?” Then, halfway through me repeating myself, he’ll suddenly say, “never mind, I got it.” It really frustrates me. I’ve asked him countless times to wait just three seconds before saying “what,” but he hasn’t done it. I’ve gotten short and irritated, and honestly, I just couldn’t tolerate it anymore. He hears me perfectly fine, he knows he’ll catch on in a moment, yet he says “what” at least a dozen times every day. After 10 years of marriage, it finally occurred to me to stop trying to change him and instead focus on adjusting my own reaction. So now, when he says “what,” I stay quiet for three seconds. Then, it clicks, and he responds. Problem solved. I’m honestly embarrassed that it took me this long to figure it out.2816
