OMG this drives me crazy. We both have ADHD but it feels like I'm the only one who does anything about trying to remember things. And it's such a double standard with him, he requires me to remember every little thing about what's going on in life but the moment I tell him something that's important to me it's like it goes in one ear and out of the other smh. And then when I try to implement lists and reminders I'm "treating him like a child". At this point I just let him handle his business and don't get involved. And if he forgets or misses a deadline or appointment, well... you should've set a reminder or written yourself a note.

Goldfish husband here. Ever since my wife put a paper calendar on the fridge for the month of all various kids or work related events has improved my time mgmt skills.

In fairness, half the time she shares events with me, it is literally while walking by me, face pointed in another direction, mumbling, if not providing me updates while another floor, in another room, while one kid is singing and other one is telling me stories about minecraft.

Is he forgetful about things that are important to him?

Sick of these men weaponizing incompetence at home. Feeling sorry for these wives. Men know they can’t try this at work. And they are the ones that give career advice and performance reviews while also being horrible bosses 🙄 The hypocrisy!
I need wives to double down, find their husband’s work persona — how he talks to his subordinates/team — and use it on him.

They never forget their own plans… drinks with the boys but will happily miss and “forget” doctor’s appointments, school events. Bless their wives’ hearts.

Girl… I set up a whole app that will tell my husband exactly what he should be doing around the house every single day because he said he needed to be told… and he still won’t use it -.- I just don’t get it.

Accurate as F! We have a digital calendar and a paper family planner around and I still get asked what’s for dinner? What are our plans?
Like open your freakin eyes!

Also, this is called kin keeping.

My husband is the complete opposite. He remembers everything in detail. He is like a walking database. I feel so inferior sometimes because I keep forgetting things. If I tell him something about someone remotely related, it goes into his memory like a script. It is so difficult to keep up with him at times, but I am trying my best.😅

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

Having a moment and wanted to make a post. I lost a special family member suddenly in April 2020. And then another July 2020. And then the most influential person in my life in February 2021. And then another big loss in April 2022. I’m still grieving. Every single day. Some days are better than others. I’ve had heightened anxiety and depression with it. My heart hurts all of the time. I miss them all so much. Some days just seem to be better than others.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
