my SO does that a lot but not to such an extent that it really bothers me as much. i just kinda got used to it i guess. if he's not the greatest at listening, when you need someone to listen, i would suggest going to someone else. but i understand that if he doesn't listen to anything it would get frustrating trying to have any sort of conversation. one thing i noticed is that while my boyfriend tends to not know what i'm talking about and isn't the greatest at counselling over the phone, when i need someone to cuddle and hug me to make me feel better he's the best. so maybe you could try to focus on his strengths? just an idea. good luck.
