DH doesn’t know I live with him

ElCy

Any ideas on what to do when DH doesn’t know I live with him. He didn’t want me in the house today.

ElCy, I'm sorry you are going through this. I've seen where others might just leave for a short while, then return to the PWD in a better moment. Maybe when you come home you say "Here's your loving wife coming home now." It could work.

EiCy can you go in a different room for a while? I honestly don’t have anything else to offer. Ed had a good idea, if you can leave him by his self for a short time. Wishing you luck.

So, I left the house.. I almost checked into a hotel as I have no other place to stay. He called me, a little incoherent and again said I should not return. An hour later, I came home. Everything was fine and that night in bed he told me I had the kindest heart and he was so glad I was his wife.

This disease is so hard on my soul. UGH

ElCy,

My DW often doesn’t recognize me (married 46 years), and asks if her husband has called to say when he will be coming home.  But it doesn’t cause her anxiety, so I just calmly tell her that I’m me, over and over. She doesn’t believe it. I bet I will be in your boat soon.  It has me looking for MC, even though she is fit and often appears capable of independent life.

Something I do is when she is really pissed I'll break contact with her for a few minutes and re-establish contact as if it's the first time I saw her that day and I am obnoxiously happy about it. More often than not she fill forget what she is pissed about and go with happy. It's good to change the location from where you broke contact to where you re-establish contact.

Put on another blouse in a different color, perhaps a hat, so that you look different.  That has helped some people.
