Hello all,
following on from my other thread on “Lost recognition”, things have changed quite a bit… Since Friday my OH and wife of nearly 30 years is “loosing“ me for long periods of time. At the moment she keeps asking me to leave as she doesn’t want to have / cause a scene when her “real“ OH (me) turns up... Although this has happened before, being away from our flat and keeping in touch via mobile has worked well, I can go back and she is generally happy to see me and has a degree of ”re-recognition” (probably no such word…) and we can carry on… Yesterday that didn’t work so well and for the first time in a while I ended up in the spare bed, again, that’s why it’s there to cope with that situation… Today however I have been back to our flat twice after being away, and on both occasions asked (very politely) to leave about an hour later so as not to “cause a scene” when her (in her eyes) ”real” OH a turns up…
However as the only person who will turn up is me and even though we have good phone conversations, as soon as I am there in person she starts to get restless after a while about where her “real” OH is… Minutes after leaving the phone calls start coming in… My concern is the way things are heading getting back to her tonight starts to look a slim chance, although I will try… I also don’t feel happy about her being by herself for a whole night, but I think she should be ok, am I over thinking not being with her?
Cheers, TonyDB
