My husband is aging (so am I)

I worry about the aging process. I become very irritable when I should be more tolerant. I need some like-minded people to sound off to. I love him dearly and don't want to share our weaknesses with those who know us. Does anyone out there relate to this?

Thanks for voting!
How about sounding off to me Tictock! I just read your post on Stroke Effects and find we're in a similar position. My wife has MS and dementia so there's strong similarities here.

So, yes, I can relate to your situation - I live with much the same every hour of the day. Come back.

Thanks for your reply Lionel. I feel bad listening to your situation. We are struggling with the early stages and my husband is in full denial. I know I should make the most of what we have whilst it lasts. But I find myself so irritable having to repeat myself so often and then explain myself. It makes superficial chat pointless. I am becoming a bad tempered nag rather than a cheerful support. How do you do it?

Hello Tictock. And thanks for your reply. If you don't mind I'd like to carry on this conversation on a private chat. If you're not familiar with how Surfers works ... go to the very top of this page, hover your cursor over Community and a box will open up below. Drag your cursor to Chat and click. Job done. I'll carry on writing later in the day.
