The latest instance occurred first thing this morning when he asked me whether I would be working my normal shift pattern.
In fact I am on annual leave this week. At the New Year we'd had quite a long discussion about the leave I was due and when I would take it. There was some glitch about my entitlement and I kept him up to date on that and how it was resolved. I marked my leave in pencil in the paper diary we both keep.
This last week was a particularly busy one when as well as working additional hours, I was giving him a lot of support with the business he runs from home. (This is something he set up since he retired.) I also had a heavy cold. At various points during the week, I mentioned that I was finding getting through everything tough - but at least I would be off next week.
(I had vaguely noted last off that he'd never once asked about whether we might have some days out while I was off, but had just assumed he was waiting to see what the weather was like, etc etc.)
It upset me that he seems so preoccupied with his own concerns, that he simply forgets what I am doing.
