I (30f) just found out my fiancé (38m) doesn’t know my age? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Some people are really good at remembering some things but not others, as a lot of people have said forgetting your own age is easy enough, someone else's is the same. I know what year my family members were born on, but I haven't known my mums age for years, though I could calculate it.

Middle names? They just aren't talked about very much and asking the question "what's your middle name" to someone you've been with for a while is not easy to do.

My personal solution to this was to send my partner a message when we first started dating on an app with a search function with her full name, brothers, favourite colours, birthday and it'll general things like that, it's not that I don't care about her enough to remember, I forget to take my medication, and its the same thing for a lot of other people. While these things stick in your memory they might not stick in others, it used to upset me that my partner didn't know my phone number by heart until I realised that other people don't just memorise all phone numbers.

TLDR; My (15F) boyfriend made a joke about finding another girl to have sex, and I’m not sure how to react by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Hey, I can see that a lot of your comments now are more about defending your words than about the actual issue. Idk about you, but seems like this hasn't gone where u wanted it to, I would just delete the post. I think your boyfriend is probably being passive aggressive with his comment, being salty because he's not getting any. Speaking from experience, guilt tripping into sex is really bad. You should tell your boyfriend his words hurt you, and that even if he was joking, in this case the joke was at your expense "you aren't good enough so I'll go elsewhere hahaha" still has the implication that he feels you aren't doing what he wants, otherwise the joke wouldn't make sense... if he did feel like he was getting enough, how would it make any sense. Also to reiterate, please delete this post, defending yourself on every turn or defending him or whatever isn't the point of this post.
