I have absolutely no idea of how to explain what is happening at the moment. I have no answers and am thoroughly confused.
Some time ago, my husband and I had a huge disagreement and his paranoia was absolutely at its worst. I have mentioned this on other threads and it was really awful. He didn’t talk to me for weeks, made comments about my family and generally his behaviour was the worst it had ever been. After two weeks of living in the freezer, I suggested to him that this was a bit ridiculous only to be told that it was all my fault.
I left him to it and went out every day. He is still able to care for himself so I refused to stick around and be bullied. I did some shopping, went for walks along the beach, had lunch ate a few of my favourite little eateries and I actually enjoyed it. I think he hated it. He had decided that he didn’t need me around so insisted on doing everything himself.
In the space of the next few days, it was as if a switch had been flipped inside his head and he has just about returned to the man I use to know years before AD influenced our lives. He has been helpful and considerate, his sense of humour is back and he is doing chores around the house.
We haven’t given each other birthday or Christmas gifts for years but I know that he got my granddaughter to go shopping with him and that he purchased some nice jewellery for me for Christmas. We went to a concert ’The Songs of Eva Cassidy’ one evening, had a lovely birthday dinner at my granddaughter’s house and have been out for lunch. He even comes and watches TV with me in the evenings, There are still the usual functional and memory problems but it’s the change in personality that has been so dramatic.
I have no idea of what caused this big flip and am very aware that I would be stupid to think that it will last. But this change has gone on for weeks and I find it so strange and quit incomprehensible. And dreading the day we go back to business as usual.
