To all..
Who the heck cares about sex at this point!? I just want peace and quiet and to not be blamed for everything. I can relate to doing more and more everyday. My husband has mild cognitive decline and used to do so many complicated things regarding finances and the computer and now he actually comes to me and asked me. I am pretty techno deficient but I'm getting better at it out of absolute necessity. My dream would be to leave him but that is just not possible. And I don't know if I really want to live alone! Financially neither one of us could afford to live separately. Together financially we are good we are stable and have more than what we need. But he is just so difficult and it gets worse every day. And because he can't remember things, everything is always my fault. Discouraging!

I am so sorry that your situation is so discouraging, and I understand your lack of interest in sex.

It's a positive that you found this support group. Caring for someone with memory issues is challenging. Although it can bring out the worst in us, it can also bring out the best. Without the support and genuine kindness of everyone in this group, I would be completely bonkers by this stage of my journey with George. (He kept me up all night again last night; so I am mildly bonkers, which seems to be what I am most of the time these days.)

Hugs,
George's Wife
