Question For The Ladies Out There. Just Tonight My Wife Turns And Asks Me What Would You Do If I Come Down?
with Alzheimer’s. I thought about it, and gave her a logical and rational response saying we’d get you treated for it. Makes perfect sense right? Identify and treat the illness. Apparently however this was the WRONG (I don’t know how) answer. Apparently she wanted to hear “I’d take care of you”, now isn’t that what I pretty much just said when I told her “we’d get you treated for it” ? Doesn’t seeking treatment for it mean that I’m trying to take care of her? Any suggestions on how to give her a none logical/rational answer next time that will at least make her happy?

lmao…
Man you have to remember that women already know what answer they want you to say in their head……If you do not say it just right they are angry…..
Now of course I would have said, we will seek the best advise and try to keep from progressing…….so i guess similar to yours….
Now of course you want to take care of her…..If not you would have said get a divorce……lol
BUT WOMEN DO NOT THINK LIKE THIS…..ALL THEY WANT TO HEAR IS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM, NEED THEM AND WILL GO TO THE END OF THE EARTH FOR THEM AND EVEN IF YOU SAY THAT WRONG THEY WILL GET ANGRY…..LOL
No matter what she ask….just say I love you, you are my angel, I will take care of you, i adore you etc…….

LOL. I always tell my husband that I’m glad I’m a woman so I don’t have to be married to one. Most of my friends are guys b/c women drive me nuts.
OK… for a typical, over-reacting woman what you said was too clinical. Many times women don’t ask what’s really on their minds. She didn’t really want to know about that situation: she wanted to know that you’re unconditionally committed to her. “We’d get you treated for it” makes it sound like you’d put her in a home to outsource the love. Tell her that no matter what happens to her you’ll be personally there to do whatever it takes to get through this together and that she’s the love of your life and blah blah blah…
Man am I glad I’m not married to a woman.

Yes, what you said is you will take care of her. That is what I got from it. Next time ask her why she is asking the question and what is it she wants to hear cause you don’t want to screw up again by not answering correctly.

Dammit. “Cstina” said everything I was going to say, and she said it better than I would have said it too. But I thought I might as well second the motion. Two more points for me. Plus, it might matter that I’m a guy approving of what a Lady has said.

Hmm, sounds like a good answer to me. Maybe she wanted you to say YOU would care for and love her unconditionally but you can be loving but love doesn’t give you the ability to treat alzheimers. Maybe she needs to know you wont put her in a home? That’s all I got. your answer wa acceptable.

Everyone knows that there is NO cure for Alzheimers. So when you said “Wed get you treated for it.” That meant absolutely nothing. Because there is no way if she has alzhemiers. Also, she knows that there is no cure either except sitting there and waiting on her.
I am certain that your wife like most others think men or women is their last day of court. of the day their memory will fail. And all women want to know if someone will care for them in their time of need.

.You can’t “make” her happy. That’s up to her. She needs to learn not to ask questions if there’s only one answer she wants to hear…and to listen better. She ignored what you said, because it wasn’t the exact words she desired to hear.
Chicks like that are all drama, drama, drama.
