This is what I got out of that: The secret to being happily married...pretending you don't hear what she says only to have them say it again (and louder) and then it counts as a full conversation. Solid advice!Don't go there!!! If you want to live, don't say "Huh" when my wife's around. As she seems convinced that my hearing is deteriorating, I guess I began saying "Huh" when I didn't understand what she was saying. She gets agitated quickly. I'm supposed to say, "I didn't hear you. Now, would you please repeat what you just said?" Nothing but "proper decorum". Now I just act like I didn't hear until she says it a second time... LOUDLY! Every now and then, when that second time happens I'll say, "Why are you shouting?" That REALLY sets her off!
