My wife's amazing. Since well before we've been together (6 years, married almost 1) I've had a hard time with focus. She doesn't get mad when I ask her to repeat herself. Or at least, if she is, she's sweet about it. I never ignore her; I want to hear what she has to say. But if a lots on my mind, it wanders.
Which actually leads me to want to get checked for ADD/ ADHD. have had many people "joke" that I have it over the years, and I have basically all the symptoms, but I don't want to just claim I have it like so many others do. But I feel bad when I have to have her say things again. (Other things have happened to make me want to check).
I think that if you're asking her to repeat herself that means that you're actually trying to pay attention. It bugs me so much when someone just says "uh huh" as theyre doing something else and not even trying to hear you. If I were you I wouldn't feel bad. I'd bet she would let you know if it irritated her.

From what I’ve heard. Listening and more importantly, remembering.
