My wife has developed some sort of neurological condition.

[DrWeird]

I don't know exactly when it started, but last night I realized it had left her with a complete inability to directly answer any question. For example:


Me: Wanna go out to eat tonight?
Her: Do YOU want to go out to eat tonight?

Me: Where do you want to go?
Her: Do you want to go anywhere?

Me: So how was your day?
Her: Is it could in here to you?

Me: Would you like me to turn the heat on?
Her: So how was your day?

Me: So are we ready to go?
Her: Boy, it's pretty hot in here.

There must be a name for this condititon.

2. It may be Husbanditis....

8. I think he's serious

and you guys are not. But if he's not serious, those are good observations. If he is serious, I don't know what the condition is, sorry I couldn't help.

7. I'm like that when I'm totally exhausted...

Don't ask any more questions. Take her to dinner, buy her some flowers, give her a backrub and a cuddle...or sex if she isn't asleep after the backrub. :-)

9. Could it be menopause?

11. i know what you are saying

12. Your wife may have suffered a series of TIAs...

Mini strokes which can cause small impairments of neurological functions.

Has she had any really severe headaches or moments of disorientation? (My mother described one TIA as looking in the mirror and not recognizing the woman she saw there.)

Take her to her family doctor ASAP. Describe this and any other recent difference in behavior.

It could prevent a more massive stroke in the near or distant future. TIAs are a SERIOUS WAKE-UP CALL.

16. Yes..true...

plus some other things going on..been and am there also..had a stroke and other autoimmune problems. I wrote him a private message.

[Kahuna]

13. Has she recently turned 40? That could answer a lot.

:eyes:

14. And WHY do they disagree with your answer?

Do they think we're LYING? Do they have so little regard for our opinion that the reason they asked us was just formality? Or is it, indeed, the result of some neurological condition?

Example (actual question):
"Is dandrouf contagious?"
"No."
"Well, I think it is."
"Then why did you bother to ask me...?"

Example (actual question):
"Is the capital of Russia Moscow or Berlin?"
"Moscow."
"No, I think it's Berlin."
"Then why did you bother to ask me...?"

Example (actual question):
"What was 'the holocuast'?"
"It was when Hitler tried to kill all of the Jews in Europe. It was during World War Two."
"No, I think it was something else."
"Then why did you bother to ask me...?"

Example:
"Do you want chicken tonight?"
"No. No, I don't. How 'bout we grill one of those steaks in the freezer?"
"No, I definitely want chicken."
"Then why did you bother to ask me...?"

Example:
"Did you think my sister's wedding was nice?"
"Yes. Yes, I do. I liked the colors for the flowers and the arrangements at the reception, too."
"Well, I didn't like it. I thought it was stupid, and the colors were stupid, too."
"Then why did you bother to ask me...?"

15. Check your email in a few minutes. n/t

17. I know what it is!

I have the exact same condition. It's called "Julie-Your -Cruise-Director-Itis" and often it's incurable.

It is caused by the victim's boyfriend, husband, or family demanding that the victim provide most of the guidence for social and interpersonal situations requiring any kind of snap decisions and eventually causes the victim's personal needs to be overcome by other's needs and demands, resulting in total decision making shutdown.

Your only option is a temporary shutdown to give the victim a chance for self-repair. Otherwise, a total meltdown is inevitable.

19. So it's the WMOAN's fault? I KNEW it!

[put out]

20. You are so right.

It is her fault.

Do we have any batteries?
Look in the pantry.
In the pantry?
Yes, right by the garage door.
But do we have any?
Yes, lots, they are in the white bag.
Where, I don't see it.
It's marked "batteries"
I can't find it.
Second shelf, on the right.
Hey, there is candy here! Let's eat it!

Do we have any light bulbs?
Yes. I put some upstairs in the hall closet, and there are some in the pantry.
Where?
Up in the hall closet, and some down here in the pantry.
We don't have the special kind.
O.K, but the regular kind will work for now.
I can't find it.
Well, then you have an excuse to pee on the toilet ring. After all, there is no light bulb.

Do we have any jeans clean?
I think so. I did a load of jeans day before yesterday.
Where are they?
In the closet, or still on the table.
Have you seen my belt?
Where is my badge?
Do you have my keys?
Did you take my wallet out of my jeans? You know I hate it when you wash my wallet.

Answers: Yes. On the table. On the table. Hanging over the desk. Laying on the desk. Right beside the badge. On the table.

And, there is the phone, and there is the remote control.

Maybe it isn't Alzheimer's, nor TIA. Maybe it's just a little overload.
