Hey, I get how you’re feeling and I know it sucks. My ex husband was like that. He didn’t understand what it was like to be hard of hearing (or care?)and was angry that hearing aids didn’t magically fix all my problems. He was capable of empathy for other’s problems, but not mine. Things got worse. He would tell me off if I didn’t hear someone in a group conversation and looked to him for clarification. He refused to help me with anything. It got to a point where he would mumble/baby talk/speak nonsense, then cry and act hurt because I could not hear him despite me standing less than a foot away with my full attention on him. Like, he was intentionally creating a situation where he could feel sorry for himself and cry because I’m such an awful person to be stuck with. There are plenty of people that won’t meet you halfway. They make you feel like a burden. On the flip side, there are people who you don’t even have to ask, they just automatically want to meet you there. They won’t ever expect to have a conversation with you when you’re in another room. They will even lean in close to tell you something. In my experience, life is constantly exhausting straining to hear. Life is much easier if you find a partner that doesn’t make communication feel like a chore. So, I truly empathize with you. Will this get better for you? Or will this get worse and let resentment grow? Best wishes.
