US EditionDear Abby: Wife Thinks It’s Too Late to Leave Narcissist
A woman with mild dementia has developed a new sexual interest despite no prior history, raising concerns about consent and health risks including rising sexually transmitted diseases among seniors.
- A Dear Abby letter says a dear friend is concerned about an older woman, widowed 40 years ago, who now expresses strong sexual interest despite mild dementia.
- With closest relatives four hours away, the friend said the woman is deeply involved in the local community through arts, music and adult-ed classes, limiting nearby family support.
- Rising infection rates mean lack of knowledge and low condom use are drivers of increased STDs among seniors.
- The letter-writer says she is at a loss and worried about consequences if the woman finds a partner, and she feels the new desire may reflect a dementia-linked personality change.
- Following therapist guidance, the column recommends talking further with your friend, consulting a gynecologist, and respecting seniors' rights to a sex life with informed medical advice.

Dear Abby: Friend worries 82-year-old with mild dementia is suddenly seeking sex and romance
Dear Abby: I am concerned about a dear friend who has a diagnosis of mild dementia. She has no family here. Her closest relatives are four hours away, and she has minimal contact with them. She was widowed 40 years ago and hasn’t dated. She always said she had no interest in that. She is deeply involved in our community and has a wide, varied circle of friends.

Wife thinks it’s too late to leave narcissist - The Morning Sun
DEAR ABBY: I've been married to a narcissist for 28 years. He has gaslighted me for our entire 30 years together. He has had a "work wife," a flirtation with the next-door neighbor hottie, and he paid for two sexy girls' dinners (and pies to go) because they happened to be in line in front of us. After an argument, he even called the police on me. (An entire shift of sheriff officers surrounded our house.) I have developed severely negative emo…
