This is truth.

My fiancee is a hardcore talker. She knows there are times that I'm not really listening intently, and for the most part accepts this. When there are situations where my input is actually useful, I'll occasionally have to say "I'm sorry, I zoned out. Can you repeat that?" There are other times where I just express that I'm doing something else that I'm into at the moment and I'm not feeling the chatting so much. So far all of this seems to work quite well, but we'll see how it goes once we live together.
