Is it always a good idea to not contradict a person with dementia?

Hope you get some answers at the neurologist. We are awaiting results of year 2 follow up testing. My husband is not in denial, he just doesn't realize he has issues.
Perhaps if the diagnosis comes from someone your husband trusts, maybe that will make a difference (not that he doesn't trust you, you are just too close to the situation).
Hugs to you.

Do you talk to your husband about this? I want to at least be able to talk about it but I'm hesitant. He's so focused on how our relationship has changed but we're not ever going to be the way we were. I feel for him but I can't be what I used to be any more than he can. I'd like to be able to face this together but as it is we seem to be operating on two different planes. He asks me to do more and more for him--spell words, provide words when he forgets, etc.--yet he doesn't think there's anything wrong. At least that's what he says. How could he not know?
