Sorry to hear this ...same here ...husband began to change dramatically over the last few years ...we both lead fairly independent lives together, as it were ....now he doesn't want me to go out without him ....I was in hospital last week as I suffered kidney stones (ouch !) all the time he was on the phone ....when are you coming home ? what time will you be here ? ..I of course had no idea it was up to the surgeon ......then he got our friends to call the hospital as he said he was worried about me .....then he called me as said 'When are you getting home, .......(wait for it ... can we go shopping I have run out of lager '.....no sympathy, empathy or understanding ,,,,arrived home got out of the ambulance ....he is waiting for me with a shopping list ...all I wanted to do was get a cup of tea and a five minute lie down ....instead, I put my coat down and got the car keys (he cannot drive any longer !) ....but I wonder as others have said, if it might be an idea to go to the doctors (you could write a letter prior to the appt) as if he accompanies you everywhere, the doc can see him !....my husband's behaviour changed and he was diagnosed with lewy body dementia and subsequently Parkinson's disease ....which is NOT as people assume, just shaking but affects the sufferer mentally as well. It has got to the point that if I didn't feel guilty to be honest I would leave I have had enough of the abuse and nastiness .....and this could go on for years ! I recently had to go to the UK to arrange my brother's funeral and sort out all the legalities of his house , Probate etc etc .....my husband refused to go into respite care for the 3 weeks I was away and my lovely neighbours were looking in two or three times a day .....but it is not their responsibility ! He refuses to have a carer in, either and if I have to go back to sort out signings, etc, then I am tempted simply just to go .......and not come back ! PLEASE do try to get him to the doctor by any means you can ...sounds like a personality change could be because of illness...................best of luck !
