My wife used to settle in our sitting room but has now started to roam the house. Yesterday she went out in her nightie next door but didn't knock; she said she thought I was ill because I was asleep. I had to lock the door and hide the key. New stage?
Starting to wander round the house

Hi @Chris100
With you being asleep, it meant your wife was alone with her thoughts - this can cause a PWd anxiety, of course, if it's for any length of time - that's why she went to the neighbours. Maybe, for a moment, she might not have recognised you, as you were asleep (just a thought).
Yesterday, I stayed upstairs for a bit too long, I heard my mother go into the garden (the garden gate is locked). Realised, and made my way downstairs, she met me on the stairs - "Where've you been?"
"I told you I was going upstairs"
"You didn't"
At night it's not so bad, she gets up about once or twice, I normally have to get up too, if I hear her from my bedroom, to reassure (sometimes not, in latter months, actually). Things will probably get a bit better for your wife.
