This is totally a piece of crap reporting.
No man who loves his wife would do such a thing if she was not able to function or if she was totally incapacitated.
My wife and I enjoyed “having fun” but as she neared death due to myotonic dystrophy, the thought would never enter my mind.
I think this story is pure BS and if somehow she said someone had sex with her I think I would be looking at the medical staff there.
No man who truly loved his wife would ever think of anything like the article described.
I’m sorry for your loss, and I understand your post.
But, let’s suggest another scenario:
Alzheimer’s doesn’t necessarily leave someone so physically incapacitated that they don’t enjoy physical affection - in fact, it’s probably very important!
These people may have been exchanging some hugs, kisses and ‘sweet nothings’ that were of great comfort to both of them; and the woman who overheard it jumped to judgment (?) and conclusions. Then the staff, and their lawyers, geared up.
It’s a crazy case.
(Note to self: That ‘living will’ that I’m planning must contain a clause that my husband can be alone with me behind a closed door!)
Again: Jeez...
What a mental and emotional dystopia we are creating for ourselves.
