My boyfriend is constantly getting upset at me for forgetting things I have no recollection of him saying and it’s making me absolutely insane.
I will admit, I am forgetful but after a reminder, I will usually remember when something has been said to me. However this doesn’t happen with the things that he says. They’re usually things like his plans for the week. If he’s doing something after work, if he’s going anywhere for the weekend.
The way that no memory of past conversations come to mind in combination with being repreimanded for forgetting is making me insane. He strongly insists that he’s giving me this info but not a single neuron in my brain can remember any conversation about the topic.
From my viewpoint, it seems like he’s telling someone else this information and recalling that memory as telling me.
I love my boyfriend and I wouldn’t continue to do something that would make him upset. I have never had this level of forgetfulness with any other person in my life. I do not have ADHD or ADD or any mental disorder that prevents me from remembering things.
TLDR: I am constantly getting reprimanded for forgetting things that I swear my boyfriend isn’t telling me. I am always at fault but there is no proof other than my boyfriend’s word
