I Think My Husband Might Be Mildly Retarded?

CwboyBill

I think you had better look-up the meaning of 'mildly', baby.....

atherton_lover

You just now figured it out after all these years? Or is this something new that has just been happening the last few years and getting progressively worse. Your husband may have Alzheimer's or some other disease of the brain that is making him deteriorate. A visit to the doctor would be a great idea.

No one likes intelligent people so he should be more popular. Yesterday I was so tired I could not hold my mouth shut.

he sounds normal to me.

First I suspect you are describing your dog

BUT giving you the benefit of the doubt, I will point out that he married a blond -- what did you expect?

LMAO He sound like a real catch. Your questions make my day. I am in tears laughing.

I think I would get a kick out of seeing what your husband looks like. Sounds like a hoot a bag full of laughs.

GET HIM MEDICAL ATTENTION NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I think he has a brain tumor or some other neurological problem. I also think you have been derelict in your duty as a human let alone wife, by not taking him to a doctor long ago. Shame on you.

Sad Rhonda

He still sounds a lot better than that sorry a-hole I used to date.

fallen angel

well get him medical help damn .took you that long to find out that

Does he have Down's Syndrome? I thought some people with Down's have larger tongues than normal. Assuming this is a real question and not a troll, has he ever been evaluated for Asperger's or High-Functioning Autism?

Is he on SSI or SSDI disability? If so, what is his specific disability? Or, does he hold a job? Do you all live with his parents or your parents? If the marriage has been unhappy for 18 years, are you reluctant to leave him because you depend on him financially, even if his only financial source is SSI checks or his family? Or, do you not want to leave him because you feel sorry for him, and remember your marriage vows "for better or for worse"?

Or, is he...ummm...kind of a nerd, and this is his version of "having a sense of humor"?

I wish you would give us more information, please, as to what this situation entails. If he is just NERDY and thinks it's funny to do "whacky things"...and not genuinely mentally ill, maybe you should have a talk with him about what he does that you do not like, and ask if he could please stop doing these things. I am sorry you are in such a distressing relationship.

Does he by any chance have a history of drinking? Is he an alcoholic? I heard they can sometimes get a condition called "Wet Brain". Is he older? Do you think he should be checked for the beginnings of senility or Altzheimer's Disease?

Best of luck to you, whatever you decide to do. Just remember, if you spend time in a relationship that never gets better, you will never get that time back, ever.

You need to get him tested...Plain and simple

and it took you 18 years to figure it out that???

donotbuyakia

18 years and you are just noticing this, or the behavior just started? If it just started, then he needs an immediate medical evaluation. If he has been doing this for 18 years, why did you marry him and why are you just now addressing it?

itsalwaysthequietone

I agree with the poster who asked if this is a recent development. I'm not qualified for anything like this, but ER had an episode about someone who suddenly turned like this, and they ended up having a brain aneurysm.

i_ate_sponge_bob

You have been married 18 years but only now notice that the way he behaves could mean he's retarded?

Do you really think anyone would take this seriously?

Really?

Ashley

take him to a doctor, i don't know if it could be retardation when you've just noticed it now but there could be a problem, good luck!!!

diamondgirl8216
