[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in our 30s, and DH’s excuse for many things is that he forgot. It can literally be 5 minutes after I ask him to do something (hey can you take xyz upstairs/downstairs and he will walk right past it). It feels somehow really disrespectful - like he can remember to do things if they’re important to him. I can’t imagine how he’s holding down his job if he is this forgetful when coworkers ask him to do things. Example: yesterday, I asked him to empty our bathroom trashcan since his disposable contact things were littering the floor around the can and I don’t have easy access during the day as he works out of our room. He said he would. Not only did he forget, but he took 2 out of 4 lightbulbs out of the bathroom lights to use in a lamp for a work zoom and still hasn’t replaced them, through I asked last night and again this morning. I reminded him about the trash & lightbulbs right before he showered, yet neither were taken care of when I went in to shower (resulting in me feeling like I was in a cave). Is there a secret to not getting frustrated about this?[/quote]
The secret is to take out the trash and change the lightbulbs youself because you want it done.  If you care more about getting your spouse to do something than you care about the task itself, you are doomed to a life of anger and resentment. Your spouse, however, will probably not notice.
