My husband is iixated in upcoming appointments or get together with friends. I make up a calendar and stick it on the fridge and email him a copy. It helps but doesn't stop the repetitive questions about what we're doing next. He's also become a mansplainer. I can no longer drop a comment about something. He then launches into telling me everything he knows about the minor comment I made. He can't be stopped. It's like a cork has popped. Tiresome but probably makes him feel better about his grasp on things.

Same here. I use a very large white board and write each day's date and year and any appointments, and include what time we are leaving the house (since he'll ask about that several times). I use different colors to differentiate dates and times from activities to help him focus and not get distracted by too much info. I am using the tricks I learned as a teacher.

Re: fixation with upcoming appointments, events , etc :
I make a big calendar ( weekly planner sheets from $ store )
He checks this many, many times a day, but still asks "What time do we leave ? " "How will we get there ? " " Why are we going to that doctor ? "
I answer each time but I pray for patience .
This site makes me feel better, knowing I’m not alone.
