I agree with others that it would seem a good idea to keep a diary for a while. Then you can look at the patterns and see if such things as perhaps physical illness such as flu or infections seem to make a difference to the amount he is forgetting. Naturally once something like this gets in your mind it is difficult to stand back and look at something in a measured way. Also if you try to just do this in a steady way for a time you will then be able to see if the situation ebbs and flows or remains static. Then you will also have a clear picture if you do feel the need to contact the doctor, and be able to show the ups and downs. If he is aware of the situation, he must be feeling very worried and scared. this in turn means that he will be putting a lot of effort into disguising what is happening, which of course is a strain and can make things worse and he will be trying to keep his guard up all the time. If he can be persuaded to seek some help from the doctors , then as others have said , there is at least some treatment I understand that at least will slow down the progress, so that it is a possible positive help for him. Know that you are doing it for him because you love and care for him, however much he dismisses you or gets annoyed. I hope you have a close friend or relative that you can confide in and to be a support for you yourself in this difficult situation, but know that you are right to check this out. No one else is living your life and you have the deepest knowledge of what is normal for yourselves. You are trying to help him and please feel that all of us here on GN are available to be what little support we can and at least give you somewhere you can write your feelings and concerns, where you will not be dismissed and we are here for whenever you need to let us know how things are going for you. Wishing you all the best
