[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t take on a problem that doesn’t exist.  Your DH may or may not develop dementia one day.  He may or may not have another girlfriend or even wife by then.  You don’t need to waste your headspace worrying about something that’s not a problem right now.  Focus on your divorce and your new future.[/quote]

OP and I hope that’s true. Unfortunately every single person on his paternal side has gone through this- not just his dad’s dad’s side of the family but both his paternal grandparents’ lines. His childhood was spent surrounded by relatively young relatives with dementia, which I think had a bigger impact on him that anyone will ever understand.

When we were younger he was open about it and we got big life insurance policies and were frugal about money just in case. Then he became quite cavalier. At various points both I and his doctor asked him to seek genetic testing or enroll in regular monitoring and clinical studies at the major teaching hospital we live near, and he refused. [/quote]
