another funny!! dementia thing

Mute 🤣🤣🤣. My hub thinks I'm 2 people, when I'm working at home upstairs, and don't have the same patience, I'll come down make him a brew, then might ask why he's wearing his shoes and coat first thing in the morning as not going out. He'll come upstairs to me later and say that woman just had a right go at me down there. If I say that was me, he'll say give over, it wasn't and laugh.
My OH thinks I'm two people as well. When he complains about the other lady and I tell him it's me he never believes me either! He's always complaining about her or blaming her for something I haven't done but he usually has!🤣🤣
On this sort of subject. Bought my piglet a new top today, which she likes , but shortly after puting it on she said " i'm a bit worried about when my husband comes home and sees me wearing something another man has given me". Well I'm ( her husband of 44yrs) thinking her first husband has been dead for 20yrs now so it must be me, So said " he probably won't mind as he didn't have to pay for it". Phew saved by the bell. All this quick thing must be keeping my mind active ( i hope) Question is who am i, and i'm too much of a coward to ask and open that can of worms.
Yesterday the first delivery of incontinence supplies arrived so I tried them on OH last night and this morning. Later, OH went to the toilet so I took the opportunity to ask him if the pads were OK, if they were comfortable etc. He replied that they were fine but if not, we could always use that - pointing at the newspaper. I found this funny on so many levels, I couldn't stop giggling.
If we'd known newspapers worked we could have saved ourselves a lot of mess and expense 🤣🤣
Passing the local Brewers Fayre this afternoon ,I said to OH that it's a while since we ate there. He said ," well the parkings difficult it's always full of ships" 🤣
🤣🤣 snap. My hubby doesn't like me doing anything to 'his house' he can be quite aggressive about it, so I do things when he's at the day centre. Does this happen to you?
We had our 30th wedding anniversary, but I didn't even mention it cos he laughs when I say we're married. Doesn't believe me. Yet refers to me as the wife to the carers, never forgets my name, it's such a bizarre condition. Still struggle to get my head around it sometimes.
Belated congratulations @LouiseK! on your "pearl" wedding anniversary. Yes, it's sad that only one of you knows this, but still a milestone. Despite recent times, you will have happier times you can remember and celebrate.
Best wishes
My oh and I are not married and he moved in with me during COVID, was diagnosed and never went back to his house. He doesn't recognise my house when I park on the drive. He makes me smile when I get in bed next to him each night because he usually says he didn't know I was staying tonight!
Errr... My house 🤣🤣 together 23 years but lived between his and my house.
I think he thinks he's in a care home, talks about the others. Have to say , sometimes I think it's a care home too. Boxes of incontinence pads , wheelchair, and raised toilet seat 🤣

Wow that's difficult, we've been in our house 23 years, married 32, and he also goes on about the others. I always say it's just us two, but when he says have they all gone, I just say yes, it's the easiest answer.
