Hello 12345 and welcome to Talking Point,
My husband drives me round the bend with his repetitive questions and continuous talking singing and whistling and sorting through his boxes and drawers, he now goes to a day centre for a few hours 3 times a week, so I get a break, it was very difficult to get him to go as he doesn't think there is anything wrong with him, I had to be very firm,
I am sure you will get plenty of advice on here, I find just reading the threads helps,
Best wishes Jeany x
