Irrational thoughts of MS patient

My husband that has remitting MS, does suffer with pain and other issues, but most days he is up and around and out works me. But out of the blue he accused me of an affair and asked for divorce. We have been married 42 years, he is 73! I’ve never cheated on him, so has anyone else had irrational unexplained thoughts to deal with?

  1. Hi I can't even imagine how difficult this is for you. For this to come out of the blue, must have been such a shock. I hope our community responds here with any similar experiences. I know this must be so hard, but I would definitely mention this to his doctor. They hopefully can provide some resources and/or next steps. Although not exactly the same, I wanted to send over this article from one of our members and her experience with her husband: https://multiplesclerosis.net/caregiver/mental-health-caregiving. My heart truly goes out to you. Please keep us posted. Jill (Team Member)
