I'm new to this site. My wife (44)suffered a TBI in a M/C vs. pickup accident almost 4 years ago.
She has no memory of me prior to accident. We had only been married 6 months and 3 days. Our dating life and even our wedding pictures are a mystery to her. She also suffered from severe short term memory loss. If something is not in her life every day she will forget it.
She is paralyzed on her left side, wheelchair bound, and needs help around the clock.( potty, dressing, in and out of bed, food prep etc.)
Due to the accident I have had to retire. I do have caregivers to help during the day, but its just she and I after 5 every night.
At 51 years old my life is far from over, but getting my wife to go somewhere is like pulling teeth. she hates to get out of her comfort zone. (home recliner bed tv)
Our relationship is much more father/daughter than it is husband/wife. We have separate bedrooms, she asks my permission to do things, no intimacy etc.
Help! I love my wife and will never leave her side, but I am going crazy after 4 years. I am open for suggestions. Thank you
