When I ask my DH to please stop doing something that is in really bugging me he forgets by the next time and continues the behavior ad infinitum. It is impossible to solve problems. I get more and more frustrated. It feels deliberate but I suppose he really does not remember.

Yes, I get it. I try the strategies I've been taught in trainings I attend, like distraction and re-direction, however he stays laser-focused on whatever he is currently obsessing about (usually wanting to always leave the house and go 'somewhere'), and the repetition just starts all over again. If possible I then leave the room or put on my noise-cancelling headphones as a clear sign that I am not listening anymore.
All the best, dementia sister. 🌼
