To have to live with that behavior day in and day out would be very taxing and I can only imagine heartbreaking.

Yes, dementia will cause him to be more agitated (snappy, angry, etc) .. But like I said on Rose's other thread - she said he was emotionally abusive to her in past before the dementia too. Dementia causes him to "go back in time" in his mind too - so it is probably a blend of both of those things - a very unhealthy n toxic blend for her.
