i think that's a great idea - stop doing things for him like his laundry, making his food etc. It has to go both ways right? Good luck!

Steal the power cords from all the computers in the apartment. Tell him that you'll give him the power cords AFTER he takes the garbage out (or does whatever other thing that needs to be done)

You know what? I had a long response to post to this. It doesn't matter though. How about you be willing to listen to me, too? Because comunication goes both ways, and at least I'm not about to bring arguments public like that. But I'm not going to turn this into a pissing contest. I'm at work and I don't have the time

ah, things said in haste. I was irritated that you posted this, but dammit, it's made me think... a lot. Because it frustrates the hell out of me that I forget things. I meant what I said, but you're right. I do fuck things up. I have a memory like a sieve, and if I get distracted... I forget ( ... )

yea wallmart has those, I've gotten a few from them.

Yea, Memory for random events like that, random information tends to be very easily forgotten.. Its not so much as forgotten as it's replaced by the stuff you think about at the time. I notice I forget things easily when leaving the house, Cause I get focused on something else. I get focused on gathering my things for work, the things I NEED, IE food water and clothes.. and forget things that are peripheral.. like my phone often times.

I have issues with procrastination as well. It's hard to get motivated when you've worked all day and come home, you just want to unplug, not dig into chores (though that's no excuse), then what needs to get done later gets forgotten by what your doing now. Maybe its a male thing, maybe its an ADD thing.. with ADD we get so easily distracted, our focus is rather narrow. I find I get frustrated if I'm trying to focus on one thing and some one is trying to distract me.. Up until I got married, I didn't notice this as much.

Honestly? I think the fact that out of sheer frustration she posted here has communicated it quite well. Problem is, face-to-face, we have a hard time communicating. Hence my last post.

It's not that I consciously choose not to follow through on what I'm supposed to or what I say I'll do. I get distracted and then forget.
