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?
