I too have to tell my husband who I am. I do it with a big smile and a lot of enthusiasm. He is always relieved to know I'm his wife and that I love him.
Someone asked a senior man why he had breakfast with his wife each morning, when she didn't even remember who he was. His reply was, "Because I remember who she is."
It is extremely sad when the ability to recognize and remember people goes.
I would say it is better not to argue with him. Tell him he is a very nice man and you are very glad to spend time with him.
It must be such a heartbreak for you, I'm so sorry. Be comforted that he still obviously values your love and companionship and views you as a "nice lady".
