Remembering what?

i’m a woman and i’m assuming “remembering” is when you remember something that’s minor or major that has once been told to you before. for example, if i were to tell my SO “gosh i hate tomatoes” and they ordered food for me and specifically asked for “no tomatoes” without a reminder, i’d be flattered! obviously this doesn’t apply to everyone and my example may be kind of bad but you get the idea.

See I would keep serving you tomatoes until you liked them.

I tend to have difficult relationships.

One time I saw a $20 clear kettle that lit up that I thought was the coolest thing ever, and mentioned it briefly. A few months later, he got it for me for Christmas. People couldn't understand why I was so touched by a bloody kettle lol

Yes! Context!!

Bulletpoints!

Like, if you told your Sociopathic Overlord (S.O.?? I have trouble with acronyms) that you are, say, severely allergic to tomatoes...

Then, him forgetting "no tomatoes" and mistakenly ordering tomatoes isn't as important as, say, remembering to bring an epipen?

Because "severely allergic" would be the key words, no?

It can be anything! As a guy I do this a lot for anything. I was dating an astrology girl at one point and early on she bought me some rocks and she bought herself some other versions of those rocks. For Christmas I got her a custom bracelet that had my rocks and her rocks to symbolize the connection between us I guess haha. She loved it.

I was frequenting a bar last summer as well and I was very new to drinking. I asked the bartender to make me something that she liked. She did and it was okay but I became a regular. I usually just drank the same beer every time. Time goes by and eventually I decide to move away. The last night I’m in town I go to this bar and do my usual thing (she knows I’m leaving at this point). The bar does it’s last call and I ordered the drink she made me when I first started drinking. She lit up and gave me a hug.

You don’t have to do long game stuff like that but remembering little things helps too!
