I think we are both equally bad, therefor, we never get mad at each other.<BR/><BR/>It is embarrassing when we are at our therapist and my husband can't remember the reason for why we are there.

And I second the comment about the reverse of that. My husband acts like I never tell him anything when, in fact, we have had several conversations about the subject. Conversations in which he contributed. "What? We have something going on this weekend?" "Yeah, remember when we discussed how we were going to get there for about 20 minutes, three seperate times?" "Oh, I didn't know that it was THIS weekend."<BR/><BR/>Gah!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979925607834752536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-67987406622870079752008-02-27T11:53:00.000-08:002008-02-27T11:53:00.000-08:00The P-Dawg had never tasted squash until we were m...The P-Dawg had never tasted squash until we were married. <BR/><BR/>Did Merrick get his guns from the in-laws?Rimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883046753707687727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-69696411455281412122008-02-27T11:19:00.000-08:002008-02-27T11:19:00.000-08:00Very frustrating but perhaps there's a bright side...Very frustrating but perhaps there's a bright side?
