another funny!! dementia thing

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.

Yep snap ,! He's always surprised the others have gone home without saying goodbye ! Talks to himself in the mirror too. Tells his own reflection when I'm mean and won't take him to see his parents! Both died over 20 years ago!
He calls the old man in the mirror his friend!

You said @maggie6445 you "won't take him to see his parents! Both died over 20 years ago!"
I suggest you don't.

Congratulations @scotlass !

At least your OH can respond, whether as you would like or not! 😊
You just have to take it as it is.

We will have our 56th next month, but only one of us knows. My OH no longer has the ability to speak more than a few words in a row, and goes off in to sounds, etc. I think she does probably understand a little more than is apparent, and she still knows my name.
