AS website says support line is open till 10pm but just tried them and it's closed!!
I'm in the bathroom just to get away from OH - I just don't know how to deal with his thinking there are 2 of me and all sorts of 'other people' wondering around the house when in reality it is just me. I drove us into town today and he spent the whole 40 minutes asking where the 'other girl' is and how do I make the arrangements for her and the fella to come and do the jobs around the house and how much do I pay them ( 'they' are me )
Then tonight he's just come down from the shower and asked where Sandra (me) is, how long have I been here, what have I been told to do. He went back upstairs to see if Sandra was there and can't understand where she's got to and surely I should know.
2 nights ago he said he was going to bed so it was time I went. He wouldn't have it that I was actually Sandra and was quite insistant that I should leave the house. In the end I said I would go but just needed to sort the cats and dog out first so he might as well go up to bed.
I just don't know how to answer his questions! I have tried going along with it before saying I live down the road or that my name was Steve but it all just backfires on me. I've recently been saying 'I don't know' a lot and trying to distract him by changing the subject but when he then recognises it is actually me he tells me that 'the others' are shifty because they don't answer his questions and he thinks they are up to no good. Today, he reckoned our 80 year old neighbour might be "in on it"
Any advice please?
