I agree with you that this is not a privilege, it just happened and here we are so I'm left to deal with this mess.
We need to rant in a safe place; go for it!
I'm in the angry stage of grieving my once-intelligent husband who no longer touches me nor engages me in conversation. I miss him and he's right next to me.
Hugs all around.

I feel your loneliness. I’m very sorry you both are experiencing this pain.
My husband does talk but logic and or memory loss often leaves me frustrated. On my good days i just smile and agree. On my bad days i try logic or reasoning. I often here back “thats your opinion”, or i disagree, or No thats not correct and you don’t get to tell me what to do”.
Then i pull my hair out because its factual not opinion. I wish i was calm and clever in my replies so we could work together peacefully.
