Is your hubby/bf like "Leave me alone" when they are doing their stuff like playing video games, surfing on the internet, reading whatever? Sometimes when he is doing his stuff, he doesn't like me talk to him so I just kinda stay away. But it's fine to me if he talks to me when I'm doing my stuff like cooking and sewing etc. He says he cannot concentrate to do 2 things at the same time, are all guys like this? What do you think?

I guess it really depends on the type of activity that is involved.
Take cooking for example, I can still talk when I cook. Or when I am mopping the floor, I can still chat with my wife if we are talking.
But for activities that requires one to concentrate, like watching TV or trying to break that personal record in a game, then it is nearly impossible to do both at the same time.
It is like when you watch a TV show. Imagine, people keep interupting you to ask you for something, or talk to you about stuff. You'd be really irritated too.
You mean you won't?

My husband cannot talk even when he is doing stuff that doesn't need concentration so it might be just his personality.

Guys don't find it easy to do things at the same time. Most of the time they need to concentrate to be able to have the results that they want. They're not like women; they're built like that I guess. At first Icouldn't understand that too, with my boyfriend. But as I observed him I noticed that it is really something that they struggle with so I just leave him alone expecially when he's doing a task that is important to him.

yea I agree that they are not built to be multifunctioning , when he is doing important, I will leave him alone too otherwise I would get yelled at. Thanks for your response! :-)

I think there's truth to that. They can't seem to multitask, unlike us women. I know because my partner would tell me when there's something up and he needs time to do his stuff (like reading, or doing something on the computer), he can't seem to do it when I'm around.
I guess that's the time when we, ladies, should just respect them and their time. As much as we don't like them bugging us when we're with our friends or chit chatting, right?

well, i`m a boy, and i know that sometimes, we really want to be so concentrate, and our girls will come and ask us so many, just when we need to be concentrated, and it`s not so nice. I don`t like to be bothered when i`m doing my stuff either. But my ex girl was ok with that. She asked me some thing and i explained her, i talk with her, and she understood that. When she asked me something, and i was so busy, i just told her that we`ll speak in 5-10 minutes, and she undertood that. You should do the same. Sometimes, in life, not really at videogames and other like that, but sometimes in life, we really need to be concentrated. I think that you girls should think a little of what we are doing, and it`s the time or not to have a discution or anything else. I don`t want to be rude with you girls...
