I want to thank everyone for all the ideas and help. I have quietly let our friends know he feels left out of the conversation when there is no eye contact when he tries to speak. So far everyone has been very helpful. I also noticed when we were facing each other talking in a restaurant, he tends to look over my shoulder. I guess it’s a personal habit I’m not going to change or bother him with. He hasn’t mentioned it since so either what I am doing is working or the MCI has let him forget. He gets his care through the VA and we will be going to speech therapy next week. I’m hoping to get some good ideas for me and also help for him.

Yes, sometimes the forgetting with MCI can be a blessing, especially if the person use to hang on to every little offense for days. It's kind of a relief that now with MCI, they just move on or they don't comprehend the offense....that part of it can make home life a bit more peaceful. 💕☮️
