Yes, I too can cope with the memory issue, but our once very harmonious relationship gets more antagonistic every day. I have learned not to argue about many things but sometimes you have to draw a line. I'm just trying to calm down after being told by my husband to "go back in the kitchen and do the cooking and let me get on with what I want to do." This followed me telling him not to chop any more logs and bring them in the house because we won't be lighting a fire for at least another three months. I know he no longer has any perception of three months and just resents me correcting him. But I don't need three large black plastic tubs of logs standing in front of the living room fireplace in mid-July. The house acquires more junk every day, because when he breaks something and I replace it, he won't allow the original thing to be thrown out and will even go and rescue it from the dustbin. Like many others, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with him, so I am obviously just being unreasonable all the time. The thing is, I know he won't remember the "get back in the kitchen" remark in an hour's time so I shouldn't let it get through, but before AD, he would never have said such a thing, and it's upsetting because it just sums up what we have become. If you make a stand you end up with more arguments, and if you try to keep things smooth, you start to become invisible.
