I think the main reason I'm writing this down is to just get it out there to a forum who may understand. Over the last year, I've noticed that my husband forgets things that have or is happening. The other day I noticed a payment coming out of our account for Sainsbury's and when I asked him if he had been there he said no but our daughter reminded him that they had and he quickly agreed. This is just one small thing but it is happening more and more. He accepts himself that he forgets things and has happily gone to the GP had all the usual tests and now is waiting for an appointment with the Memory Clinic.
I have, over the last five years, lost both my parents to dementia in very disturbing circumstances. Friends say to me that it's men, they just don't remember what's not important to them and I try to think this is what it is but I've noticed he also can be quick to criticize our daughter for anything and everything and is becoming overly safe in his attitude to life. I'm so worried about the future, he is only 65 and I only 59 and the future I saw for us I see dwindling. I guess what I'm asking is whether anyone else has had experienced this and then found out that it's nothing more than just innocent memory loss.
