I completely understand what you mean. My boyfriend is older than me, we went to college together. I'm 26, he's 43. We had 3 months of a normal relationship dating and having fun before the serious onset. I move in with him and his daughter to help and because I was always there. 6 months in we got his diagnosis. It was scary, but I researched and joined support groups. I knew I could handle the physical limitations with positivity and resilience.
He has the more aggressive form. He deteriorated so fast. Hes in a wheelchair with minor incontinence. He keeps gets meaner and meaner. He barely talks to me. He forces himself to have energy to do anything for anyone, except me. Most of the time I see him, he's sleeping, angry, and miserable.
He's so cold. I recently got custody of my little brother from foster care. He doesn't like being around him either. Last night he told me that it's only going to ever get worse, he will only be more of an asshole, I just cause him more stress, and that he doesn't expect me to deal with it but I need to accept it.
I'm miserable. I feel trapped. He's cruel and angry and barely even a boyfriend. I feel awful for wanting to leave. I just am so depressed to come home to a man who spent all day laughing and doing his daughter's homework for her but barks and complains the second I walk in the door.
