It all comes down to the spouse we married and lived with for years no longer exists except in body...

Aarya,

The illness occurs mostly after the age of 65. In context of your situation it would mean the couple was married for about 30-40 years. The person not only has memory issued but gradually other issues like mood swings and in general deterioation. Therefore the person is incapable of leaving you for anyone - one situation you described. I do not see any benefit in a 65 year old plus going into a new romantic relationship after divorcing the spouse. Yes maybe an easier life with less financial burden and day to day issues. Its a subjective thing and we can differ.

Now this is may take. Can you please describe to me one situation where divorcing a spouse at that age would benefit the other person and which is related to illness and not a general action like leaving or eloping with another person in which case he or she should get divorce anyway.

Bottom line Aarya is I am not seeing any benefit in divorcing. it aint about any rigid rule. yes she does not remember me but i do remember her.

I am not an over emotional person. Here I am talking even from practical point of view.

Thanks,

That was just a fictional story by summer 😆 otherwise no one donates ones eye or eyes while living. eyes get donated after death if the person had made a will to that effect. usually its the cornea , the transparent outer covering of the dark part of the eye that gets transplanted and yes normally the eye bank only uses only one on a blind patient so that two patients can benefit out of donation by one donor.

It does happen in real life.

Kids have chased the parents out of the house once the assets were transferred to them.

One well known cook here had a kidney transplant as both kidneys were not working. Donation came from his wife. After a few years he divorced the wife.

Strange but true.

A lame singer who was wheel chair bound was always helped and assisted by his wife in moving around. But after he got famous he divorced his wife too.
