Find Care & Housing
Your husbands brain is broken so I'm sure he probably thinks all kinds of things that are not true.
The fact that you continue to show up for visits, and continue to let him know that he is loved should hopefully calm those thoughts.
And like Fawnby suggested below, when he brings up the subject of divorce, just gentle change the subject and divert his attention to something different.

No point in arguing because you won't convince him of anything. His brain is broken. I'm sure this is hurtful for you, but remind yourself frequently that he's not the same as he used to be and never will be. He's not trying to hurt you.

My husband is also in memory care, and if he were to bring up that subject, I'd quickly find something else to talk about or I'd divert him with an activity.

I wish you luck in weathering the storm.
