Any movie we watch - he looses the plot scene after scene! I explain and reexplain!
How do you remain calm during these circumstances
That is a difficult situation because you are exhausted with describing the scene. I usually have to take a break from the person and not watch TV with them until I can calm down. It doesn't help to get angry or frustrated because it is not going to make a difference and upsets both of you.
Thank you for the advise
Comedic movies work best for my husband. Movies with gags/slapstick. Dramas? Forget it. He can’t follow the plot. He watches old westerns like Gunsmoke. The thirty minute episodes are best. I tape them for him and sometimes he fast forwards thru the commercials and sometimes he doesn’t. I dread the day he can’t use the TV remote. He’s having trouble with it now but most days he can manage it.
Thank you ! I do the same! But at times he picks the movie! He gets pretty angry when he’s confused
You can try to watch shows that unfold in short episodes, and see if that's better for both of you. Or if his real goal is just to sit next to you, then maybe he doesn't really care about the plot. You might try having him sit with you and watch, but without any explanations, and see if that works. (I play solitaire while my hubby watches certain shows over and over. I'm keeping him company, but deliberately not paying much attention -- because I've seen these shows before!)
