I saw him yesterday and had a similar experience with "forgetting", I reminded him that I had already told him about this (I have done this in the past as well, he gets himself out of it by avoiding it). His response was, oh yes, I recall that, your confusing sometimes so I like to clarify. ummm is that what you call it? Clarifying? Should I be concerned about this? He remembers the most trivial things, but the more important things he seems to have trouble retaining. Common things for me to say in my therapy are "Im sure you won't remember this, but, or do you remember, or I already told you this but". Yet he remembers that I told him once that I loved steak and details about my brother I told him once. Go figure. I like the guy, I don't like wasting money. Am I expecting too much? Because there are those times when he is right on! Im finding it confusing.
Thanks for any advice.
