First of all, are you smiling, thats the first thing that will get his attention. Second, is he watching TV or looking at some type of screen? If so, get his attention with the old Bend and Snap (you know, from legally blond) or ask him if he wishes to have a soda (Pop in oklahoma) or beer. Distract him with something you know that will get his attention. Don't come right out and say what you need or In one ear out the other. I like to see cockerduchess in her denim jeans (but don't tell her that). Posture is everything, chin up shoulders back, men like a woman with attitude. Then, when you have his attention (make sure he is making eye contact...no eye contact no attention) you say something like "Honey, I need you to...(TIP: stretch your hand out to him...we like to be heros)." We men are so insecure we have to feel needed. And I hate to say it, but bribe him with a treat. It took you giving your yorkie treats to get them to learn a NEW BEHAVIOR, so give your husband a gold star on the fridge. When he gets a certain amount of stars give him something for his NEW BEHAVIOR. No lie, a professor gave out stickers on test that made good grades and everybody actually tried harder to make better grades to get a sticker. SO there you go. Look hot, offer something that will get his attention, make eye contact, express you need him,,,offer hand....gold star =treat. If this doesn't work. Offer two stars. Remember, you can get him to learn a NEW BEHAVIOR and if you have boys, this will the best opportunity to teach them how you would like to be treated. But always be a LADY with a smile.
