I just want to let off steam.

My husband is useless at remembering stuff.

Today I had a drs appt which was to check something that could potentially be cancerous- it 's a gynae prob ( not cervical cancer). he didn't even remember to say he hoped I'd get on okay as he left this morning- totally forgotten. he hasn't phoned from work, so I know he has forgotten.

This is not the first time- it's always happening. When I have a go at him he will be full of apologies, but that's not the point.

I am just sick of it and wonder why I am still with him after almost 25 years.

The result was inconclusive- they think it's ok, butI have to be monitored every 3 months.

What would you think or do with him if he was yours?

When did you last speak to him about it? If it was last thing last night then I can understand why you might be a bit pissed off sad that he didn't remember. If however it was Friday/the weekend then if it was me I wouldn't be too upset; in fact I would just automatically have mentioned it this morning.

im like this though.
have mercy on him. its not intentional, its not malicious and its not meant to get at you.

its just the way we are, honeslty.
i forget stuff the moment im told it, i could kick myself when i do this.

my fella is exactly the same if i have things on he forgets and even does it with the kids aswell like for example recently our son had a terrible cough and wheezing so i took him to the doctor and he is diagnosed with a chest infection,did he call from work? NO!!!!! did he ask how he was when he got in from work? NO!!!!!!
its like they are so wrapped up in themselves that they havent got it in them to think of others,yet when they are ill we have to give them the red carpet treatment dont we!!!!!!

we spoke of it last night as I was apprehensive over the things that were being done.

Thing is, if it was him, I'd be on the ball!
