[quote=Anonymous]If he's not walking away because he's fed up with the conversation, then react to what it is - just a signal that he's not ready to listen or engage. If you have something important to say, follow him to the next room and calmly say "I realize you're engrossed in something at the moment, but when you're free, I was saying something that is important. Let me know when you're free to talk." If it's an on-going, almost daily occurrence, then let him know that you'd like to be able to have the daily conversations that most spouses enjoy at the end of the work day but you see he needs time to himself - is there a happy medium you all could sort out? Perhaps a new routine needs to be established, like he gets the first 15-20 minutes in the door to quietly decompress, and then after that he's checked into you & the family, and has put the phone away.
