What you describe is very typical. I just try to separate the person from the disease. It doesn’t help to argue. Correct only if necessary. Give information on an as-needed basis, or you’ll have to repeat it over and over. If you’re a person of faith, pray for patience.

“Give information on an as-needed basis…”. Boy, do I need to be better at this! My husband has always been detail-oriented and now it seems he’s like a dog with a bone when I say something he is interested in…Though it may sound mean, it does help to give less information, and sometimes not until it is needed. Thanks for this.
