Memory loss and menopause

My wife is in the premenopause stage and we have just had the most almighty row because  she was looking forward to watching the latest episode in a series on tv that we had taped. When it started I said that it was the one we had watched together in its entirety two days ago. She denied this in strong language and I tried to remind her of things she had said during the programme. She became madder and madder and said I must have indulged myself and watched it without her. I tried to point out that this was not possible but she was adamant, stormed off and went to bed slamming the door on me. I am worried that this is going to become a pattern and my wife is not going to accept that she is sufering from menopause related memory loss. What can I do?

      Hi Maria,

      Thank you for your reply.

      Part of the problem is the memory loss is so complete that my wife doesn't even believe she has forgotten anything - and she flies off the handle if I even suggest it. She genuinely believes she did not see this episode that we definitely watched together. It wasn't the only thing she has forgotten about that evening either - she also got out more than one tea towel and hung them in the under sink cupboard but she accuses me of doing this - and for some reason she is extremely angry about it. 

      It would be good to know if there are things that can lessen the memory loss problem - and calm the anger.

      Roger
