What is the best thing to say?

Thanks but of course I have asked this in the past and he says I’m wrong and he doesn’t have dementia. That’s the problem he’s in denial most times. I won’t ask him that again.
He does catch himself doing things wrong and tells me he’s so confused and can’t think straight and I should put him away. When I tell him that’s not happening he cries. It’s so heartbreaking 💔

This is exactly the phrase my husband uses. "You should put me away". I, too, assure him that's not happening and I want him here with me. Today, he keeps apologizing for being so much trouble. It's heartbreaking 💔 😢
