I get that. As I said my H has become hooked on Heartland, all day almost, every day. It is a nice, cute show but it is a simple show. So when H starts laughing belly laughs, I have to wonder.
You know, he would never have watched a show like this a few years back.

As for headphones, great idea but I can tell you that won't fly with H, all he would do is turn the TV louder. At least now, it is at a moderate level.

Now what is he going to do? He finished all the episodes of Heartland yesterday and is back to moaning, groaning and not making sense at times.

I just was told it is my fault he broke a glass in the kitchen because - ready - I had washed it and it was on the dish drainer drying. Yep, my fault. The actual situation was that he was being absent minded (I guess that is a good way to put it) and wasn't paying attention as is part of his thing. Since the situation started with him it seems, at times, that when he goes to do something he isn't aware of other things that are around, like the glass.

The other new thing is that he may start a sentence, never finishes it and then asks me why I am not answering or talking to him, or if I finish the sentence he didn't is piqued at me doing that

It is a no-win situation. I just hope that at his next Doc. apt. he does that - maybe that will be a breakthrough.

I just bit my lip and retreated here rather than try with him.
