Husband overly amorous

I wrote somewhere on this site about the very same thing. It is difficult because, the thing is, he doesn't remember anything the next day, or even later in the day. So I try to be understanding. I have come to the point where I share that he may not remember but I do and it is too much for me--that seems to jolt him. It is hard, though. It's important to him (since he can't remember last times, etc) and seems to him it's time to be romantic. I don't consider it abusive on his part since he has no memory--but I am trying to set limits even though it is I who feels abusive denying him a romantic interlude. I have grown weary of it actually.

Dear @talkingbird (that’s so cool; love of your name),

I’ve seen you of this writing before. Anyway, you’ve been a loss-memory at the next day of your husband. It’s sad and I’m part of this, but years - decades and I miss parts if me and families, including aunts, cousins, mom, dad. And more.

Does he sit around with you like drinking coffee/ or sit with you looking a news: or what ever? Thankfully we do good stuff with my wife.

Well, be thankful, are alive of your human-life and your family.

Thank you for replying! I sense that you, as I, truly love your husband and don't want to hurt him (which is how I feel). There's so little that makes them feel good about themselves. I did set boundries but guess that has to be repeated since they don't remember. And I like the way you phrased it. Have to pick good time to bring it up so he won't get mad. Again, thanks so much!
