It took me over a year until I internalized the fact that my wife truly did not remember what I told her a few minutes ago and then I was able to answer her calmly and matter-of-factly as if she was asking the question for the very first time. Even then, sometimes I get frustrated; we’re only human. My wife knows she has this memory problem, because sometimes she prefaces her question with “I know I’ve asked you this before, but…”

I’m glad you found this group. We all here share your frustration. You are not alone.
