further information on question
This is an addition to the question of the man and woman dating who are 65& 68
Adviceman..(there is no "buggy ride" he is enjoying..There are medical problems on his part..So using me is not in the equation.
We both lived together some 46 years ago and
he loved me very much but I messed it up then..Sad to say..
We both have been through alot...His gambling is not to "impress friends"..mostly he is alone and developed the habit of casinos as a way to relax and not to think...(again alot of hardship). He has 2 or 3 friends...And it is not the situation for him to brag or ty to impress...
But I did respect your answer and appreciate it..I don't want to break up with him..And I have spoken to him--not about the money situation but as to whether he cares or how much..He says he does..He is quite different from what he was even a few years ago..(we kept touch all these 46 years)...But he had a stroke last year>> I wonder if that has anything to do with it..He had a minor breakdown, then develped diabetes and then the stroke..

We are not doctors so I can't make a diagnoses . What I can say is depending on the type of stroke he had and what damage was done a personality change is a definite possibility as a result of the stroke. Any other medical problems he has such as the diabetes and whether or not he is compliment with medications and treatments will also have an effect. The breakdown and whether he sought treatment could be at play in what you are seeing as well.
You could also be seeing the early signs of dementia. It is really hard to say without knowing the person and without speaking with his doctors. The best thing you could do for him is to ask him to allow you to go with him to visit his doctors. He may not be fully hearing or processing what his doctors are saying. Having you there to hear what the doctor says will help him and help you with your concerns.
