No, my husband still knows me but I have read where this has happened and the one with Dementia doesn’t know his wife and has a girlfriend. A friend told me that this might happen if Alzheimer’s is involved, not so if just Dementia. Is there a test for Alzheimer’s?

Yes, Janet. Alzheimer’s can be diagnosed in several different ways, including cognitive test and lab tests. You can read more in this article by Mayo Clinic.

Knowing what type of dementia your husband has can be helpful to understand better and to know what to expect. Has he been diagnosed?
