That's it really. Together for years and he "forgets" this, he apparently forgets loads of things too. aibu to be upset by this?

I'm sure I've been tols where dh was born but can't remember, not sure why I would. I'm almost certain dh would have no idea where I was born, couldn't care less....

oohjarWhatsit · 04/07/2011 14:37

after 30 years, i dont think mine has ever asked me, nor me him

just assumed its in the city where we both grew up, but could be completely wrong

Not a big deal IMO.

I don't know where DP was born, he doesn't know where I was born.

Ha ha - DH would have no idea where I was born.

When we were going through immigration procedures I was terrified of us being split up into little rooms like on Green Card and being asked loads of questions about each other. DH would have failed in an epic manner and been on the first plane back home!

Not sure where my husband was born, he only vaguely knows where I was born. Neither of us were there at the other's birth so it's hardly a shared memory is it? If my dad forgot where I was born I'd be concerned (but in an is he developing dementia way, not a he is being mean to me way. )
As you do more stuff together it's not surprising that in order to remember some of the new stuff your brain forgets some of the old stuff.

I'm not sure where DH was born. I know it was in some sort of mother and baby home and I can narrow it down to two towns, but that's it.

See, DH wouldn't care or talk about it. MIL, who lives in the past and talks about when her boys were small all the time, has a voice that is just white noise to me.
