Stop doing the housework and washing; see how long he notices before the house turns into a sh*t-tip.

haha I did that unintentionally. Took OH 12 days to notice :lol

We have total role reversal on this. I am the MOST unobservant person on earth. It's a standing joke that my OH gets his hair cut every 6 weeks on his lunch break and in 6 years I have not once noticed of my own accord. Now he'll just choose an opportune moment a few hours later to dramatically wail "you never notice!" lol. Or he'll put something on the stairs to be taken up and I'll walk past it constantly for days while he waits to see how long it takes me to notice it!

Whereas he notices everything, literally nothing gets past him. The other day after I'd been dusting he came home and within 10 seconds of being in the living room was like "why are the picture frames the wrong way round?". 2 identical frames on the mantlepiece, but with different photos. WEIRD. Even when he said it I couldn't have told you they were the other way round before!

I'm exactly the same! I can walk past a full bin in the kitchen for a whole day, and keeping putting things in the bin but never noticing that it needs taking out whereas when he comes home, thie first ting he moans about is that the bin is overflowing. You'd think he'd have learnt by now.....

I can be oblivious to everything around me and that annoys him completely but it annoys me that he notices every little thing!

well his sister has wandered over and noticed straight away so he has been sat there asking whats different

but the sister did say oh your hair looks nice and he said it always looks nice

My hair is very short and I get it cut every 4 weeks so I'm not really surprised that my OH doesn't always notice.


I was surprised though when I changed the downstairs room round quite a bit and he didn't notice!

Yes, it is surprising that he didn't notice the pole or asked what it was for. Your new hobby. Just joking :rotfl::rotfl:

I think women are much quicker at noticing things but as the other poster said men could be worried that they say the wrong thing.

Hubby shaved off his beard the other day and it took me several hours to notice.

My ex did that. IIRC, he asked me after a couple of days if I'd noticed anything...

I'm the most unobservant person in the world though. When I was living with dad he put a new kitchen in and even though I went in and got a drink after college I didn't notice until he asked if I liked it.

This seems a common theme this 'my DH didn't notice I've gone to the hairdresser', as if it is a test of their paying attention to their partner.

I don't really see it like that. Going to the hairdresser is a pain in the bum, I do it now because the grey hair brigage has taken over, and yes sometimes I will change the colour, style, but I do it because it needs to and I couldn't care less if hubby noticed or not! Saying that, I do hope he doesn't notice the rare time I get a big pimple on my forehead too!

My OH will notice phyiscal things but not always, however, he is much more likely to pick up on a change of mood and ask me what is wrong in an inviting way, and I much prefer that.

My lovely husband tells me that as part of his colour blindness he can't tell if I have spots because they look the same as my freckles I don't think it's true, I get big swollen spots once a month.

He can't tell if I dye my hair, but he did notice when I got around 12 inches cut off it a few months ago. He told me it looked quite nice considering! It almost touches my shoulders, if it went any shorter than that he would think it was ugly, so he would pretend he hadn't noticed, because he wouldn't want to give an honest opinion.

I would be upset if my husband didn't notice that! 12 inches off is massive! I would think he didn't care if my husband ignored such a drastic change!

Mine notices every tiny, single minute thing I do to myself.

Mine too, even if I wear a new perfume!
