I always admire you Norman and Brucie for your devotion to your partners as they progress through this awful illness and I'd lkike to know how you do it! I've been with David for 40 years altogether and before we always had a good marriage -if a little too sport orientated for my liking. I know they can't help the things they do and say and most of the time I can put up with it but all it takes is some silly little thing to upset my equilibrium and I'm telling myself that I really do hate them. How do you remain so loving? I think I still love David deep down but where is the real David as I haven't seen him for at least 5-6 years!
Sorry if I ramble but allit took to unhinge me was the phone ringing and because I didn.t mute the TV quickly enough he was very verbally aggresive as he said all the noise would stop him hearing. You would have to have a gold medal in the olympic sprint to get to the remote control in the time he wants! 5 minutes later, he's all sw eetness and light and I'm absolutely steaming. When I calm down, I always feel as though all these confrontations are my fault so please tell me how you stay so rational and loving- is there a pill you can take?
Only 2 weeks to R & R in America so perhaps things will look better from the other side of the Atlantic! and now I've finished rambling and feel a lot better. The trouble is ,it's too wet to go out na ddig the veg.patch to vent my spleen!
A calmer Susie
