Hello Katlady.
I am afraid this is quite common.
My mum first forgot my Dad , they had been married over 50 yrs at the time. We tried explaining but nothing worked, it was the memory loss.
The only thing mum accepted was when I said
He is that nice man you like.
One of our members had a similar problem to you, what she used to do was phone her mobile and whilst sitting beside her husband he would talk to his wife over the phone whilst sitting right next to her.
Perhaps this would help.
What I do know is nothing works all the time and the questions always start again.
Sorry not much help at all.
I don't know if this old thread on here about Compassionate communication will be of any help

One thing I eventually discovered was, my mum believed she was much younger than her 80+ yrs so it was impossible for this middle aged lady in front of her , me, to be her daughter. Could it be the same with your husband.
I resorted to what we call love lies on here .
