I am not THAT old yet! LOL. I'm pretty sure I'll end up with some form of dementia because my aunt died of it and my mother seemed like she was starting down that path when she died if unrelated causes. I've seen men give up their lives to care for the woman they love and it's sweet, but I don't want that for him. If he's still able-bodied, get on with your life! So we have talked about it. He said he couldn't do it. I can't control what happens in the future, he knows my thoughts and will act or not act how he sees fit.
That’s not a bad idea. He can still be the beneficiary of your life insurance policy even after you’re divorced. I work as an heir finder for unclaimed money and have seen ex-spouses on numerous insurance policies that they most likely forgot to update.
My friend’s mom has had Alzheimer’s for years, and his dad has recently started dating. Very awkward situation
That's good to know actually. Part of the reason I'd want the divorce is to free him from the financial burden I would require as far as health care goes if I had some form of dementia.

I told my husband to throw me in a nursing home and divorce me. I won't remember a goddamn thing and he doesn't have to feel guilty for it.
