I am thankful that he isn't the kind who refuses to take a bath or change clothes, but he prances around in the nude, looking in the mirror, and preening. He wanted to buy self tanning lotion so he would look like he had a tan. He worries about losing his hair, and talks about getting implants, and also dental implants so he wouldn't have to wear false teeth. He is 82!
actually , i can live with that title .
it beats the s*it out of feeding some chick's freakin ego .
male or female -- overconfidence turns me off from quite a distance .
Oh, ha!, we have not heard a peek squeak from our original poster lady, she could be at Goodwill looking for silky underpants for hubby..........who knows?

levity
I looked up the definition of levity, and I had a different understanding of the word. What I meant to say was a bit of "humor", nothing else. Thanks for the observation.

I want to share my LOL moments reading this thread so far. Seenypa, no extremities??? So, no arms, no legs? How can one prance like that? Roll on the ground? HA!!!
1Sally, get some "Gardeners Hand Lotion" for your hubby, because if it hurts when he grabs you.................well..............that's NO GOOD!!!
Ferris1, you crack me up! That part of his brain will soon ATROPHY???????? hahahahaha, so funny, OMG!!!
To Alexander 4: Seriously, get all the paperwork in order quick! Quick! Play along with him IF you want to. If this is making you uneasy and you feel embarrassed, ignore him. Watch out for expenditures, take him to RiteAid and get him some gradual tanning lotion.
On the implant thing..............you tell him you are going to help him with scheduling appointments, bla blaaaaa, and I would even go to the extreme of going to the dentist for a QUOTE on what he wants done. ADVISE dentist, receptionist, hygienist or whomever that NO, he is not going to get this done, and to keep putting his appointment off to...................NEVER!!!
Get him some "sexy" underwear at Goodwill, and tell him you want to see him in "THAT". I tell you, never a dull moment. Hope you do not mind a bit of levity, since we are all so tired, depressed and burned out, when a topic "lends itself", well.............we run with it. No offense, please. Take care everyone! M 8 8
If he walks around nekkid, then I guess he doesn't have incontinence problems. To get him to wear drawers, would he wear something high-cut or in bright colors or patterns? Tell him he shouldn't reveal all his secrets at once, because a lady likes a more subtle approach.
My approach is to give in or play along or substitute or laugh whenever possible. But if you personally find something disgusting, you have a right to take a stand. It might not work, but you have that right.
And thanks for the visual images! We will never be able to unsee that! LOL.
Medical providers, aware of his over-all decline, are unlikely to pursue his wishes. If already diagnosed with dementia, is there a specialist to address geriatric mental health?
A mental health provider may also be able to give you verbal/non-verbal suggestions on best to respond to some of his actions.
If he sits more maybe the nudity won't be so in-the-face. Anything that will give you a change of scenery. Any moments, minutes, or longer periods to give you a break. If his nudity can be addressed, maybe in-home respite is an option.
If you have not already, I would ask for in-home respite so you can get out for awhile. If it requires a mental health diagnosis and recommendation from his doctor, it's worth a try. Any possible angle to decrease his prancing and provide a break to preserve your own sanity.
just hope he doesn't go outside to show off.I wouldn't want to see THAT
