My [26f] boyfriend [26m] never listens. Always zoned out. Getting frustrated

Hello! I just want to share a different perspective and hope it is helpful. I am in a similar situation but I am your boyfriend in my situation. Sometimes, I will already be immersed in something that requires my full concentration. My fiance will start telling me about a news article or sharing something with me. I get frustrated that he is interrupting me and seeking my full attention when I'm already busy. He gets frustrated that I'm not giving him my full attention. What works for us is that when I'm busy and he starts trying to share with me, I stop and acknowledge him and ask that he please gives me x minutes. Then I give him my full attention. Now, for your situation, if you are just asking him a quick question that requires a quick response, maybe just stand directly near him to get his attention for a sec if he doesn't "hear" you when you call out. He needs to start communicating to you that he is busy and let you know when he will be free.
