Spouse with cognitive problems and finances
Caregivers: Dementia | Last Active: Dec 30, 2022 | Replies (290)Comment receiving replies
My husband has adopted the habit of waking up after a few hours of
sleeping, playing Solitaire in his recliner for a few hours, and then back
to bed. I wonder if this habit has changed him. It seems the last few weeks
he has changed from the energetic enthusiastic man I know into an old man
who walks slow, talks slow, and is just tired of it all. He even talked
about giving some items away to other family members. But he does keep
buying expensive items. I know I will have to make changes so he cannot
continue to put us into debt.

Is he on an antidepressant?? My LO was put on one and it seemed to help his depression

I know what you are facing. Bill hasn't been driving (thank heavens!) for over two years - doesn't leave the house - but is now insisting we need to buy a new expensive car (ours sits in the garage a lot lol). He also has a thing for wanting to buy everything advertised on the TV and responds to spam emails. Gets irate when I stop him. I have to be constantly on the alert. Nerve racking. Once he buys something then he wants me to get him out of it.
