[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I guess I should phrase the question as: what to do if you are a total f*ck up because that is the truth.

I’ve been making these kinds of mistakes for a long time. I’ll buckle down and it gets better for long stretches then it slides back into this.

I don’t think I am a total idiot but I can be scatter brained.

Does anyone relate? What do you say to your husband?[/quote]

If you self-identify as "a total f*ck up", well, that's what you're going to be. If you're sorry, change your behavior, because that's what people who are actually sorry do. But you're not taking the advice already given about how to suck less. You want us to tell you how to smooth your BS over with your spouse. Given your description of your spouse, that's not likely.

So you can either accept that you're "scatter brained" and do something about it, or continue to piss off your meticulous spouse (who has a right to be upset you wasted his time/effort, though not a right to be a jerk about it; he could also schedule appointments, confirm them, etc.)

That "it gets better for long stretches then it slides back into this" sounds like a giveadamn problem, i.e. you can do better when you actively focus on doing better but then you regress when your effort slacks. Don't slack, or you'll end up here. Take the suggestions (shared calendar, calling to confirm, checking the date on your phone, etc.) and do something different. Nothing changes if nothing changes. You'll have to do something different to get different results.[/quote]
