[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is conflabulation and needs to be followed up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confabulation[/quote] +1 OP - stop badgering him and expecting his “logic” to kick in and see the error. This is the entire problem. He can’t see the error because his brain isn’t able to process the discrepancy. My mother had a brain tumor and the initial medication they gave her cause a psychological breakdown as a side effect. She had extremely erratic behavior one evening leading to an EMS call. After she was off those medications and back in her right mind, she could analyze her behavior and hold both the idea that it was not like her normal self, yet she behaved normally and logically at the time. The brain is amazing, but when something is off, don’t expect it to just correct itself. Go get him evaluated. If he doesn’t agree, suggest that you both get evaluated, because one of you is not thinking the way they used to.[/quote]
