I'm glad he shares his experiences with work with me; I really do. I am interested, but when it's becoming like 75% of what he talks about, I can only take so much. I can't relate to lines of code or how a problem was solved. All I can say is "great." It's annoying that conversations I start are pretty much disregarded for his work. Or it becomes, "hi! mememememe workworkworkwork memememe." And then silence. Or "mememememe workworkwork mememememe." "Great!" "Yah!" And then silence. I don't think I should have to repeat myself to get some sort of response. |

well, tell him you are happy to keep listening to his mememememe workworkwork but he has to listen to your mememe once for every three of his mememe-ies. he also has to make a comment that shows he was listening by saying something like, "so, what you are saying is that you feel 'invisible' and that i don't care about what is happening in your life when i never stop to ask you about your day or about how you feel about things?"
unfortunately, we often get exactly what we require from our lives and from the people in our lives. wanting more is rarely enough -- you have to REQUIRE more. to do this, you have to be willing to eliminate people from your life who don't care about you enough to meet your needs in the same way you are willing to meet theirs.
i hope this gets better for you -- i really do! :-) everyone needs to be listened to and valued by the important people in their lives -- i know that i do!!

Thanks for your advice! If that was the only thing bothering me, would it be unhealthy for me to "put up with it," i.e., accept it?

I think it would be unhealthy for you to accept it if it bothers you.
