my Husband is now 60. Diagmosed 4 years ago but many signs before. His alzheimers has got worse. He now thinks people on tV are in the room or there are people in the bedroom even while we are being intimate. But talking of intimacy ; which is my main point of writing, it is so weird because he now doesn't know me come the evening. He is now on tablets to help him 'function'. This makes the whole 'event' very clinical as it takes an hour to work. we used to watch Tv for a while but it seems we can't do that now as they are 'in the room'. It is weird being made love to by someone who doesn't know what your relationship is with them.
He doesn't even remember we have boys. the other day he said' We will have to get our banns read quickly'. at least he still wants to marry me.And 'I think I may have had a little op so we can't have children'. You may have to go to someone else. He doesn't remember our history. I lead him round photos of trips we have done & pictures of our Children and show him our rings.
We have been married for 28 years. How do others cope with this being made love to by someone who doesn't know who you are.
