Is it rude to not look at your spouse when talking?

I like for who ever I am conversing with, getting statements from or making statements too, to acknowledge me by looking at me when we or I am speaking. My husband will get looking at the tv, the computer, the book, the whatever,and not make even a nod, acknowledgement. This over the period of the last three years has left me feeling ignored, angry and rejected by him. He sys I am being either too sensitive, or ridicoulous or am expecting more than normal people would. I say it's rudw. What say you? I have asked him to please just look at me.
