If your spouse has Alzheimer's, what do you do with the rest of your life?

Asked by breathe (249points) July 7th, 2010

This friend of mine, has a fairly young husband with advanced Alzheimer’s disease. He is in a home, where he will stay for the rest of his life. The healthy spouse is wanting to get on with her life, but doesn’t know if it is the totally wrong thing to do. They have no kids, but her family says she will bring shame on the family if she goes out with a gentleman friend. What is your opinion?
