Kayc, I have to agree. The behaviors you are finding out about are a part of the disease. They aren't any kind of reflection on the type of person he was and don't, in any way, diminish his love for you!!! It also doesn't mean that you weren't strong/ loving..(insert your own word here) enough to save him from his disease. I think sometimes we aren't meant to save the world, only to improve the lives of those we love in some small part. Keep the memory of his love pure and cherish it!!

Walt, just know that she was walking beside you and knows what your feelings are. Your continuing to live and try are a testament to your shared love.

Dusky, this is not on topic for this particular posting, but I just wanted to let you know that your postings have made a difference for me two mornings in a row. I am new to the board and have been looking for ways of coping with the loss of my husband. Your insights were healing, as much as anything can be this early on, and helped me to understand a bit of the process. You might no longer actively be involved with your loved one, but by sharing your experiences, you are contributing to the world and to others left behind in his honor. Thank you.
