so sorry. Is he staying by himself? He should not be in my opinion. He should not be inviting anyone into your home. How is he meeting them? He’s obsessing about things because of the disease, not because of you. Read the book “The 36 Hour Day” which really helped me after my DH’s diagnosis. Stop him from using the computer or internet on the phone. Disable it if you must. Take control of the finances. Learn to fib to him when he makes demands. “I’ll go later or they are out of whatever he wants. It’s going to get much worse so learn all you can how to redirect him. There are videos online that will help you.

Hes meeting them on Facebook groups. I even mentioned to the gentleman that he has dimentia but I think my DH is vulnerable so I told him I didn't want him inviting people here. I do all meals for him I live here also, he even has me go up and down the stairs for things. It's exhausting.

If you can you need to get him off the internet, it is not safe, period. Change the wifi password or put his devices in airplane mode. Or spill coke on them, whatever it takes.

Do NOT tell strangers that he has dementia. He is a vulnerable adult, people will take advantage of him.
