This is one of the worst problems in my married relationship. I've tried several ways of fixing it and haven't hit on the magic formula. Just the day before yesterday, I told him my chiro visit was postponed to 2:30. He said, "oh, okay," and went and sat back down (he was driving me). Then I roust about to leave about 2:00 ... he drives so fast, we got there at 2:05 and was a bit peeved when the "CLOSED" sign was in the window. I knew we were going to get there too early, but I let it happen to see what he'd say after I reminded him the appt. was at 2:30. I reminded him of this and he claimed I didn't tell him. Now... that's only one incident in a MILLION... and I'm not a jabber box either... I think that might be part of the problem - I don't DEMAND his attention enough.
Here's the other side of the coin... he'll tell me the same thing two or three times... and it never fails to shock me when I hear a story or comment for the third time.
dum-d-dum
