Husband With Slow Cognitive Decline: So sad & confused

Another suggestion- if your husband is still working, let his employer handle whatever from their end. They will be the ones to notice what he is having difficulty with and the ones to decide what to do about it. They will try increased supervision and action plans, but will not ask him or you for a diagnosis as this opens them up to being responsible for possible ADA requirements of “reasonable accommodation”. Let it play out as long as it can, keep those paychecks coming, don’t resign without a good severance (6 months pay and health insurance?) 🙂 Be patient.

Thank you so much @centre , sadly he has struggled with employment over the past few years. He had a great career until about 5 years ago. We moved for my work and decided it was a great chance for him to start over. He has had several jobs since then and will quit before he lets them see him struggle - so, he has not had a reliable paycheck in a long time. I am the primary breadwinner and insurance is contingent on my job. I have benefitted from a long, successful career with stability...but, my job is high pressure and long hours. So, it has its challenges, as well.
