Forgetfulness can be a common sign of aging, and it can be concerning for both you and your husband. The first step is to approach the situation with empathy and patience. Instead of getting frustrated, try to gently remind him of important details or tasks. You could also set up reminders for him, whether it’s on his phone or a family calendar. Engaging in activities that promote brain health, like puzzles, reading, or learning something new together, can help improve memory function. If you notice that forgetfulness is getting worse or affecting his daily life, it might be worth speaking with a doctor to rule out conditions like dementia. The key is staying supportive and seeking help when necessary.
