My husband believes he's living with 2 different people. Both of them me, but only one is his wife. His sexual desires are sky high. Mine are not. He is 68 and I'm 67. He can't tell the difference as to who he goes to bed with or when he's gone to bed. Other things like this have been happening. How would you handle this? Waiting for his neurologist appointment. This is my second post. 1st one was questioning dementia.
There is very obviously something wrong with your husband, mentally, if he believes he is living with two different people, while both are YOU. You don't need to see the results of a MoCa test to realize he's suffering from some kind of dementia. The MoCa test WILL help, to some degree, at least to get a baseline established as to what stage of the disease he's at right now. Assume that his executive brain function is quite impaired and leave it at that.
Call his doctor, get him on some meds if possible, and go from there. And sleep in a separate bedroom for the time being, that's my suggestion.
GOOD LUCK!
Thinks I am 2 people, one his wife
Sexual desires high
So on and so on
There is no rhyme or reason to Dementia. You have to kind of go with the flow. When it comes to two of you, sometimes a person suffering from Dementia remembers the younger person. They have no idea who this older version is. The mind is alk scrambled.
You need to find out what Dementia he has so it can be treated properly. There are medications that may help in the early stages but really have no effect in later stages. Even though Alzheimers falls under the Dementia umbrella it effects the brain totally different.
Once you know what Dementia ur DH suffers from, read up on it.
I love JoAnn’s suggestion.
I guess I didn't help you with your issues, but when I saw your post, I guess I just wanted to let you know there are other people who have similar issues. I don't really have an answer for you, especially with his sex desire. I just know that my desires are sky high also and I used to have a willing partner, but not anymore. People tell me I have to go along with her and be whoever she thinks I am - play the role - so to speak. That's just making me more frustrated and I hate it. I still love my wife, but there are times when I don't like her very much. Living with dementia is horrible and there is no owner's manual that you can consult to help you deal with the issues. The brain is the last great frontier and the smartest doctors still don't know what it can and can't do. Hang in there. Maybe you can tell your husband you don't have sex with married men. That's what my wife tells me.
