Hi Jamiesgirl,
Sorry to hear of your "other halfs" injury. Denial is common in TBI whether it's from the Health Care Professionals or the patients.....happens on both ends. The good news is he has you as his advocate, as many lack a supportive caregiver.
He is still early into his recovery and from what you posted, still fighting it. For the time being, you can help be his eyes and ears as far as the memory and other symptoms go, until he starts accepting it.
You are right not to argue with him, I know it is challenging (I know my family feels that way with me) but he is not reacting that way by choice. Do you have a professional you can talk to about your concerns?
Hang in there.
