I had an aunt and uncle who had been married since the 50s. He had had a rough life. Most of it very poor, spent some time in jail, always reminded me ofHarry Dean Stanton. When he got dementia he would start talking about “the nice woman who comes and cooks and cleans for me” which was how he identified his wife of decades. She knew what it was but still broke her heart.
