My husband has a habit of changing the subject when I'm in a deep conversation about something serious, often mental health issues. It is annoying. I just tell him, 'don't change the subject!'

Sometimes we're on a walk and he wants to point something out. So, I get it, but still. Yesterday, it was because his phone beeped and showed him how long it would take to get somewhere we were going to later. 🙄

Fortunately, he's not a terrible listener, just distracted sometimes.
