[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Berating is never in the equation.

If there is stuff to get done, we divide it up. If it doesn't get done, I'll maybe remind once (especially if I realize I wasn't clear that I meant today, not eventually). If it doesn't happen after that, I'll do it and ask to please remember next time.

My spouse isn't a child but he isn't perfect and does forget stuff. I do, too. If it's all the time and due to bad priorities (playing video games instead of being a present partner), that's a different issue.[/quote]

What if you find yourself reminding on a near daily basis, and have had calm talks about it already? I hate berating, but apparently I have become a berater. [/quote]

In those instances, we've actually gone to marriage counseling. Because the partnership is failing for whatever reason and this is just a minor symptom of a bigger issue. Something has caused either communication to fail or for one party to not understand that their (inaction) is putting unnecessary stress on the other party (or they don't care that it is). Nip it in the bud while it's a chore being ignored and not something greater.[/quote]
