[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the hell are you arguing about this? Is this the only example? Let it go. He's misremembering, got the names/corners wrong (or you are). So what. Happens to all of us. This is not a sign of anything. Geez. you both are stupidly stubborn over nothing.[/quote]

It's not the only incident. Today he told me that a stranger said something to him that is so off the wall and crazy that I don't believe they said it. He must have misunderstood them or imagined it. He swears it's true, but I wasn't there so I can't say for certain. [/quote]

You are right to be concerned, OP. I would call his primary care doctor to have him evaluated. [/quote]

I agree there is reason to be concerned if it has happened several times.  I would definitely have him checked if I were in your shoes OP. The incidents you describe sound a lot like what happened to my mother in the beginning of what was later diagnosed as Lewy Body Dementia. Of course it could be nothing but I’d check. [/quote]
