[quote=Anonymous]In his old age, DH is getting nicer and nicer to strangers.  Normally, I would say "fantastic, great, wonderful, we need more of that in the world" and so on.  But it seems that due to DH's history of abuse (he was pretty seriously abused by his siblings growing up); it is coming out as he gets older that he is nicer and nicer to strangers, who in turn, take advantage of him.  His pleasantries are misplaced.  I am sure there is a professional or clinical name for this, I just don't know what it is.

I fully realize, only he can help himself.  Is there a way I can help him see how his behavior is okay in "normal" social circumstances, but not how it is coming out.  He can be really inappropriate, and people wonder about him.   He really goes out of his way to talk to people he either doesn't know, or doesn't know well (at all). I think they turn it into a game at his expense.  I feel bad for him.  He is brilliant, but one might say socially stunted.  Any ideas?
