@upgirl2013 I’m sorry for your bad week, it’s hard stuff.
My husband (72 MCI) also doesn’t have a definitive diagnosis, which means it doesn’t exist in his mind. He is doing a tiny bit better than your DH, showers and changes clothes daily and drives locally. Can put on a pretty good show to outsiders, but is so narcissistic, bullheaded and illogical that I can hardly be around him.
It’s so ironic for me to see your post today. Yesterday DH and I went to a social function an hour and a half each way, with me driving and I almost lost my mind with sheer frustration and sadness for the loss of my partnership and companionship with him.
We got in a shouting match over his constant complaining about my driving, which exits we should take, why do I have to use WAZE? he hates WAZE, and on and on. I’m so stupid that I started out, after, saying that really, taking a wrong turn wasn’t the most horrible thing that could ever happen and we should let it roll off. But no, we had to aim for revisiting the whole situation. He has told me that I need to learn!! a couple of times….
Anyway… we’re supposed to on a a driving trip that is 4 hours away for a weekend and concert and I just don’t think I can be in a car with him that long. It will certainly be our last driving trip. But..I do worry about the whole trip in general. Things can turn fast when you don’t have full mind function.
Enough rambling, I wanted you to know that I heard you and I feel you. Hang in there? 🤷‍♀️
