Conversation with phone



my DW was diagnosed with EOAD about a year ago. She has always been a talker and she still talks a lot except now she doesn’t make much sense even to me. I the past I was Able to fill in the parts of the conversation and was able to figure out what she was saying. Today a new thing happened. My DW has followed a lady on Facebook who has a blog where she sells clothes and other items. My DH has purchased items from this lady for several years. Today as I was sitting next to her and thought she was talking to a friend but realized that she was having a conversation with the lady on the blog. It’s impossible to talk during the presentation, only can text any questions. Has anyone else ever have this happen?

my DW not DH

Yes - similar but not exactly the same. When my DH was still using his phone, he began to have conversations with what I thought were people, but there were actually voice messages that he would interact with as if they were a live, talking person….
He also thought anything on TV was happening in real life, and began to talk to the people he was in movies/shows as if they were in the room with him. We stopped watching the news about that point.
