Welcome to this group that I found on one of my teary days. My husband was diagnosed with MCI in March 2023 but showed memory issues much earlier. I have posted some long replies. Yes there are subtle personality changes-more anxiety, irritability and conversations are different. We are married 50 years and yes, the relationship changes but we are still enjoying each other as long as I practice patience and keep my sense of humor and empathy. I’ll reply more and see what others say. This is so helpful.

Thank you for this comment. I am so glad to know that what we are experiencing is not unique. At first I thought we were having marital problems and we went to counseling. It took two years for me to realize that we needed to consult with a neurologist.
Congratulations on being married for 50 years.
My husband is 82 and I am 69. Second married for us we married in 2000
Will look forward to what you write in the coming days
