So I see a lot more of the GF now. Now before my rant I must say, she does a lot of house stuff that I'm most grateful for...cooking, cleaning etc etc etc...all good!:D

But in the morning I've so much stuff to remember and her being around and causing me to rush, and do this and that...results in me forgetting what I otherwise would not have. This has happened two days in a row now and is starting to annoy me.

I know it's "not her fault" as it is my duty to remember stuff....but IT IS HER FAULT!! If she wasn't there I'd definitely have remembered.

I suppose to those with young kids this sounds ridiculous as no doubt they are a huge pain in the morning.
 
How about you get your lazy ass out of bed 10mins earlier so you don't rush.....

I'm out of bed before her, and ready before her. But then starts the...do this, do that, and other questions that result in PANIC PANIC and in me forgetting.
 
Get yourself a whiteboard or something by the front door so you can check you've done everything before you leave. Just add stuff the night before if you need to.

Conversely to your post, i'm completely retarded and if it were not for my girlfriend, i'd remember nothing at all. I fight a constant war against my memory. The above is my most effective offensive yet.
 
I find my mornings much more stressful and I forget more if I get up after 7am, aka:

Kids:

"Daddy can you make my breakfast", "can you set up the Wii for me", "can you help me get dressed", "can you make me a drink", "can you put my hair up dad",

G/F: "could you just......" etc etc etc

So I try to leave before they get up and then I'm home "early" to play :) This works best when I ACTUALLY get up when I'm supposed to :)
 
I found when my missus was living with me, I made sure I did as much as possible, bag packing, getting suit and shirt out the night before which helped a great deal! :)
 
Stop being stupid and blaming someone else.

Write a list yourself and remember your own things!! Do you want your girlfriend to stand at the front door and ask you a list of questions to see if you have remembered everything!!

Jesus - some people!!!
 
Write a checklist and get up a little earlier then you won’t be running around like a blue arsed fly.
 
My ex used to wait until I was just about to open the door to leave for work and then start asking me stupid questions. And then she'd get upset because I was abrupt with her. :rolleyes:
 
Hah I think the same thing has happend with me!

I use to remember everything but these days since living the wife I tend to forget the odd thing from time to time, its strange yet annoying as previous to that I never forgot a thing in my life.

I don't fall into the same circumstances behind it all as the OP though, women just nag you to death and evidently you forget things from your mind wanting to kill itself.

Thats my theory ;)
 
My Mrs is still asleep when I leave for work most day's (her hours every shift are 2-10) So I'm normally never hassled for anything when I first get up.

But it all begins when she wakes up.... Phone calls and text messages to see if I've done this, or done that, "Where is my work top?" is a regular text 5 minutes before she is due to start work. I combat this by sorting out all her work stuff the night before and leaving it on the table in the hallway, yet she still does not spot it half the time.
 
get everything ready the night before, leave it on your counter top, and hey presto in the morning all you have to do is get up and get showered/changed/brekky....and please the gf.
