My forgetful husband...

adventureisoutthere · October 2013

So hubby has to have hernia surgery next week. His pre-op appointment is this week. He's been telling me it's tomorrow since it's been booked. I said I'd like to come, he hums and haws and tells me 'well if you think you need to'. Yes, I do, he can barely remember his own name half the time, one of us needs to know what's goin on next week. So, fast forward to this morning, he texts me 'appointment was supposed to be today at 10, not tomorrow, it's now Thursday at 11'. And THAT is exactly why I'm going to the appointment! Thankfully he could still get another appointment, and the surgery can still go ahead! Sheesh!

I swear he'd forget his head if it wasn't attached.

Anyone have forgetful husbands?

LOL my H forgets everything and then pretends like I didn't tell him.

My H swears he listens and then doesn't ever remember having a conversation.

Yes. My husband has a terrible memory. His parents always tell me things to remember because we all know he wont. Actually, I don't think its a memory thing. I think they are just dumb and decide to block out anything important to remember.

THIS!! We started a running joke of things I've told him multiple time that he forgets. It's getting to be a very loooong joke!

I have to write a list of things for H daily.

My H is probably the most forgetful person I have ever met.

If you want something done, or need him to remember something the only tricks that work are

1. Write it down and put it somewhere where he will see

2. Make sure you only give him one thing to remember at a time

So if he needs to remember an appointment "tomorrow"...don't tell him on Sunday, tell him on the night before, write it down, and don't ask him to do anything between now and then..

My H will flat out tell you he doesn't remember stuff. It's really bad I can't even tell you how many times he asked me what my due date was with Ethan it's sad. He does good with birthdays and anniversaries things from the past but not future items.

My H has a terrible memory. It drives me bananas because I have a pretty sharp memory. He remembers things he writes down, like his schedule/appointments, birthdays, anniversaries, and grocery lists. His iPhone holds all of those lists. He is getting better because when I tell him something important I make sure there aren't any distractions. He is more apt to remember than if I tell him while he is watching tv.

A few weeks ago I had my parent orientation night for work (I'm a teacher). I told him about several weeks in advance and probably a few times the week before. I told him how I was nervous about addressing 20+ parents (I hate public speaking). I get out of work at 5:00 and arrive home within 10 mins. At 6:00 during the orientation my H called me (my phone was violently vibrating) I grabbed my phone and silenced it. I saw he had texted several times at 5:30 and then called 2 times at 6:00.

I texted him saying I was still at work. When I was done at 6:30 and called him on my way home he said he was so close to coming to my work because he thought I was dead! He accused me of not telling him about it.

Men and their waffle brains!
