A woman who thought her husband could be having an affair after he became withdrawn discovered he actually had early-onset dementia. Emma Ruscoe, 55, started noticing subtle signs that there was something wrong with her husband, Simon, 58.
Emma said her husband stopped wanting to go out with friends and he was withdrawing himself from her - to the point she thought he was having an affair. After a holiday to Cephalonia, Greece, in August 2016, Emma says Simon became argumentative and started forgetting conversations.
Emma took him to her GP who then referred him to a memory clinic, but it was tricky getting Simon to an appointment. Emma went back to the doctors in March 2018 and again was referred to a memory clinic.
