This comes up regularly on the Spouse's board— you could search posts on the topic for additional responses beyond what you'll find here. Here's a recent one—

The 'Sunday Morning Show' correspondent Barry Peterson had a segment on that.

There are YouTube videos about "Jan's Story". Barry and Jan's dealing with early-onset and his decision to date again.

Maybe an in person ALZ spousal support group would help to lessen the shame. You can be honest regarding the need for companionship with others who may be wanting the same. Wishing you the best 💞

This topic is frequently discussed on the Spouse/Partner board. I believe you will get relevant and encouraging responses there from members who are in your situation. There are also many "May/December" relationships.
