@dianaml - yes I know what confabulations is. When my husband first started making things up I couldn’t believe it. I’ve come to accept that it’s the disease. Sometimes the things he says are so outlandish I can’t believe he thinks they’re true. He does truly believe what he is saying! I believe it is his brain coming up with an explanation when he’s under pressure. (Social situations) or under stress and anxious. It happens sometimes also when he has lost something. Now, I try not to respond to it, I just acknowledge what he says and move on. I never fight with him over it or try to convince him is not real.

@dianaml Love the word. Thank you. Best for you and your husband.
