When couples disagree about elderly parent care decisions

My wife and I have been caregivers for my mother with dementia for three years and we're both completely burned out but we can't agree on next steps — she wants to explore assisted living and I feel like we're abandoning her. We barely talk about anything else anymore and when we do it always ends in one of us crying or walking away.
