Are men playing dumb or do they truly not understand?

My husband seems to not understand just how easy it is to make me happy. Though he has tried but it just didnt seem like he puts much effort into it. He is so forgetful at times i just want to scream! Is there any hope for me to help him understand what i expect of him?
Additional Details
My husband is very sucessful at his job and understands way more things than i could ever imagine. He just simply misses the obvious like, this morning i called him from work and ask what he was going to do today. He replied "I dont know." Just after work i tried to call him but no answer at home. He returned 45 minutes later and said he had to run to the travel agency to pick up his tickets and then stopped by the post office. A simple pone call to tell me he wouldnt be home when i got off work would have been nice.
Am I asking too much of him?

no. honestly, we try. i mean, why dont u girls just tell us directly so we can go out and do whatever it is that will make you happy? instead, we're stuck here guessing what to do, and when we get it wrong, we "dont understand". right? just tell ur husband what you want and he will gladly do it im sure.

we don't play dumb hon...we're not that smart...don't give us so much credit...we truly do NOT understand ..and much reason for that lack of understanding is that women RELY HEAVILY on hints that will NEVER work...

you have to communicate...women just assume that we know or should know every single time...it doesn't work that way

if you don't open your mouth...we are not about to be able to mind read...again...if we could read minds...you wouldn't have a problem at all...not the case..and never will be..

Start by slamming his fingers in the window, then hit him in the head with a baseball bat, then slam his head in the car door, when he falls to the ground tie him to the bumper with a long rope and then drag him for 5 miles. Stop the car then put the car in reverse and run him over. Stop the car and put it back in drive and run him over again. Repeat as needed. This may require a full tank of gas.

Have you told him what you want?
That would be a good start.

Give him obvious hints on what to do. Not subtle hints. If they're subtle he won't get them.

i think that in general, men just truly don't understand...but they do sometimes play dumb to get out of doing certain things...
my hubby usually plays dumb when it comes to things like general housework or things with the kids...i think its cause he just doesn't want to do them...
but for other things, even serious things, he's just forgetful or doesn't get it....and in these cases, i find it nearly impossible to make him understand...
men and women are just totally different...

Men are forgetful. They just are... Men and women think differently it's a fact and a lot of times they forget things. It's not that he is meaning to be insensitive but that is the way it goes especially if they have a lot going on.

When he comes home from Korea and you are settled in your new base if he continues to forget things that are important to you just discuss it with him. But for right now I would let it go. Guys hate nagging.

Why not just tell him what it takes. Communication is the key to a happy marriage!!!

What you expect from him? Ha ha haha. Honey, take it from someone who has been married a long time. . . . lower your expectations. Men don't think like we do (most men) and since women have this amazing ability to change our minds at the drop of a hat in regards to what makes us happy, he's completely lost unless you spell it out for him.

If it's easy to make you happy, then instead of dropping hints, simply say, "Honey, I love it when you do _____". or when he's done something to make you happy, acknowledge it and he'll keep doing it. Men are simple and those kinds of things they will understand.

We truly don't understand what is needed every moment of every day and it gets tiring trying to always figure it out.

I suspect that your husband may be dumb, but men in general are not dumb nor are they emotionally void. Men are very similar to women, but our stereotypes prevent us from seeing this.

men just don't think the same as woman do.
a woman will 90 % of the time tell their spouse where they are going and when they will be back. my spouse doesn't call when he is going to be late or what he is doing. most of the time i give him the benefit of doubt because it is not worth fighting over the little stuff.

oh it is so normal, u just need to understand and b more open with him

BE OPEN AND TELL HIM WHAT YOU LIKE!!!!!! They listen when you tell them Communication is the way to a happy marriage, tell him what he does that makes you SMILE! He really doesn't KNOW! Hints DO NOT WORK!


repentant sinner
I have a theory. Most women don't know what will make themselves happy. How do you expect a man to know how to do it?

Its hopeless.... He has his mind made up sweety... keep talking to him..... In fact show him.... Maybe you need to try something different,,, Good luck

its natural, men and women just don't have the same things and priorities on their radars


Linni
If at first you don't succeed, try, and try again. They can learn what makes you happy, but it takes patience and work. Some learn more easily than others.

Communication is the most important part of any relationship. It is better to tell someone outright what we expect or want from them...then to let them guess and say...wrong!
