[quote=Anonymous]My husband is like this OP! He is kind of on the spectrum and genuinely quiet. He does however realize that it really bothers me and has been making an attempt to fix this. For me this problem became worse when we had a toddler who was also regularly ignoring me, because it felt like everyone was not taking me seriously. For my husband we had really concrete actions, 'if you hear me ask a question, answer, even if you don't think you have a meaningful response, even if you don't know if I'm purposefully asking you or just musing, respond with some verbal acknowledgement of having heard me." With my DH it is also not mean spirited or angry, it is just how he is. He makes a determination of whether or not whatever I said NEEDS a response and will generally err on the side of no. So we set a new boundary that the answer is ALWAYS yes. Not perfect but way better. [/quote]
