My spouse of 52 years was diagnosed with MCI last year. We have 3 children who all live out of town. We speak to all three together at least once a week. After our last phone call, my husband lit into me for taking over the conversation and leaving him out. He doesn’t hear well and has a hard time keeping up with the conversation. We have had this issue before and I told him as soon as he wants to say something, I will be quiet. This time he was dosing for most of the conversation and then was very upset after we hung up. I told him I want him to participate but I really don’t know how unless he tries to say something and then I let him talk. I told him moving forward I would say “what do you think” or “how does that sound to you” to try to give him the opportunity without it being on him to join in. A lot of times when he does have something to say it’s totally out of context, but we know the problem and just let him talk. Any suggestions as to how to handle this. I want him included in the conversation but the hearing (he has hearing aids) and the comprehension level is a problem. I really feel he knows he has a problem and wants to take it out on me. I’m a fixer and want to have a solution.
