Mr Memory Man's living in the past

WE call my partner “Mr Memory Man”.

GOOD OLD DAYS: Bloke's constant yearning for his past life is bringing his partner down

According to him, everything was better in the past. Christmas was more magical, food was tastier, and people were nicer.He’s particularly challenging at this time of year when he waxes lyrical about the happier festive feasts he enjoyed with his late mum, dad and nan.

Our kids roll their eyes when he complains that today’s telly is rubbish, even though most of it is repeats.

Sometimes he'll have a drink and start talking about all the wonderful women he dated as a younger man.

He makes me feel about as valued and attractive as last year’s socks.

I've had a tough year. My health hasn’t been good and dealing with my elderly parents is hard.
