How do you caregive when someone with dementia has been unfaithful?

Hi there. I found your post interesting. Please clarify as my husband has Parkinsonism and dementia with Lewy Body. He has thought there were as many as 4 Karlas (my name). Last night he wanted to know where the girl is that lives here. Her name is Karla. When I told him I am the only Karla who lives here he said "don't tell me you don't know her!".

@timber2026 I saw this since I'm a Karla too! and just had to answer. I think someone in this thread, asked, "how to you move forward with this when they cheated." My answer: We just do. But 4 Karla's, amazing. that he could have that many going at one time! If that was the case. Even more amazing, that he can't recognize due to the memory confusion, the real gem he has in you Karla, the one living with him and giving him quality home care. Just keep reminding him.....Best, Karla
@timber2026 I have same thing. I always thought the other Jeannie was the side chick. He gets made when I say I am the only Jeannie.
This disease is so complicated. He has even tried to hide me. 🙈

@timber2026 I understand that scenario completely. There's two of me. The mean one (the one that makes sure he takes his meds, cleans up, etc...) and the sweet one...he will ask all along where the sweet one is and when is she coming back! 🙂
