We have been married almost 30 years and my husband always called me dear..the last couple months he has started calling me by my first name. Is this because he has started thinking of me as a caregiver instead of his wife?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I think we mourn what "used to be" and still want them to behave the same way toward us.
My husband and I have been married 26 years.
Is there a way you can get some outside help, so that once in a while you could share some time as a couple, maybe a meal together with candles and music, or something that you enjoy doing together as a couple - like watch a favorite TV show together or listen to music together, something like that? Just something to re-establish your couple bond, apart from the situation of his medical condition and your need to be his caregiver?
