I still get frustrated when I have to keep repeating because of my husbands forgetfulness or when he acknowledges what I'm saying but then doesn't act on it, so i have to take deep breaths and keep telling myself that he can't help it. It's like the movie 50 First Dates... everything is new again the next day and the day after and the day after. I miss our sitting around just chatting and laughing and getting silly with each other, We used to sit and talk about what the plans would be for the weekend, and now I just mention whats gonna happen, to keep him in the loop so there wont be any surprises for him, but i know i'll have to remind him the day of, cuz he doesn't remember that talk and i've accepted all of it without any complaints cuz this is how it plays out now and I just roll with it. The hardest part of this for me is how we don't "talk" anymore...about anything and everything. One of the things I fell in love with was his ability to tell stories... his life experiences...his childhood...his love of serving in the Army...the 2 step sons he helped raised before his divorce. I just SO much miss about hearing his voice and it making sense. The hardest part to partaking in conversations is that he doesn't use a lot of nouns, it's alot of "this" and "that" and "those", etc. and I read that it is very common.
