Hi
@Guzelle , your post brought back memories of how my husband was.
Slowing down is sadly part and parcel of the disease as it progresses, and in the earlier stages, my husband also needed guidance in making tea etc. Eventually we reached a stage where he was unable to do these things, even with guidance.
The bit that really struck a chord with me was your mention of how your husband will follow other women. My husband started to do this too - but only in busy locations such as supermarkets. I had to retrieve him from accidentally following other females several times.
These busy locations can be so overwhelming for someone with dementia, with so much information to process. I believe my husband knew he was out shopping with me but in those moments of extreme confusion he just looked for a woman with a shopping trolley without understanding that it wasn't me. Fortunately, I never came across anyone who acted badly to the situation after being followed, but it was definitely alarming for me the first few times it happened.
I found that it was best to have my husband push the trolley, while I pulled it from the front. He seldom let go of the trolley and that kept us together. In other busy locations such as high streets, garden centres, parks I found that holding my husband's hand was the only way to stop him following the wrong person. Thankfully, he was quite happy to hold hands whenever we were out and about.
I wish you well, and do keep posting - there will always be people who have gone through the same or similar situations, and who are happy to share their experiences.
