This! I finally stumbled on it quite by accident “…wait as long as possible before telling him about them…”. My husband has always been very detail-oriented. Now that has morphed into obsession, as you mentioned. It is tough. I’ve found waiting till necessary to mention whatever it is does help. I find this site and all of you so very helpful. It is my safe space (though I am seeing a therapist). Therapists may have the education, the expertise and the theories, but you all are living this, along with us!
Thank you for sharing. Heartbreaking it is to see our loved ones experiencing cognitive decline. I do understand what you are saying about the times when everything seems better only to be hit with reality again when something happens to remind us that it isn’t. It sounds like you have given careful consideration to your options & have come up with a plan that works for you.
