For example, women often say they're ok or fine when they really aren't. Sometimes other people can pick up on body language or subtle changes is tone of voice that show that no, they aren't really ok. Sometimes, the situation should clearly show how not ok she is (in tears, curled up in a closet, etc.). And other times, they secretly hope the person they're talking to will pick up on it whether or not there is any visible clue. It's confusing between two female friends, and can absolutely confound guys when their girlfriends do it.
I don't know whether you are female or male, but the person telling you that you are oblivious most likely means that you are not as sensitive to other people's emotions as you should be. You are missing things that they consider to be obvious. Maybe you are offending people without noticing, or maybe you aren't recognizing hurt and emotional pain when you partner needs you to. It could be anything.
People are confusing. The best way to figure out exactly what it means, in this case, is to get that person to tell you. They probably want you to magically figure it out on your own, but if you admit, "Fine, I'm oblivious. I'm also confused. Please explain because I just don't get it," they will hopefully give in and explain. Good luck. [ Amarete's advice column | Ask Amarete A Question ]

For example, if your significant other organizes a really romantic night in and you come home and start watching television, you'd be being oblivious.
