ok, i'm not trying to be obtuse, i promise! but this happens alla time, with a lot of couples over 40. He hates to admit in public He even needs glasses. Once i started to see Him holding the menu "over there" i started just reading it for Him. Not in any overt way, but usually i lay my menu down and pull off.. "Oh, i'm thinking chicken montery (while pointing to it on menu) or maybe this pasta, looks good? (pointing at picture) i know what He likes and doesn't, all He really needs is clues to where the stuff is on the menu or what the exact names of the dishes are. Since He's dyslexic His auditory memory is excellent, and i can rattle off nearly everything and He'll remember what's there and can quote it all back verbatim. It's hard to describe here, but W/we've just got a system where nobody has to know He's got aging eyes and it all looks just like we're discussing what to eat. Which, really, W/we are. Of course, that's not the random stuff that comes up as mentioned earlier, but still.. when people are in tune, they spot a ruffle and move swiftly to smooth it over for each other. While i'm rummaging thru purse looking for my lighter, He will disappear and return with matches from the hostess stand. Maybe it's just the familiarity that hasn't bred contempt yet, or maybe.. it's ... love?
