[quote=Anonymous]I don’t really understand why this mature sensible person is not having a frank conversation with her romantic partner herself, but anyway… Op, you seem annoyed that she will not take care of him. But let me tell you, the reverse can also be a problem. My 85 yo mother insists on taking care of my 85 yo father and vice versa, even though both of them are really not up to the task. They will not accept help from anyone else, do not want anyone in their house, and as a result are constantly dealing with problems related to this And the quality of their health/life is not as high as it could be. Expecting someone her age to be available as an unpaid caregiver is not only an unreasonable plan, it wouldn’t be a safe or appropriate plan. Be grateful that she’s giving you an excuse to start finding additional sources of help immediately, because it is an inevitability[/quote]
