It’s pissing me off that my bf keeps saying he will do stuff but then forgets to or forgets he said he’d do it. Ik he has ADHD but I do too and I am not nearly as forgetful with the things he wants me to do

My bf has ADHD too. It’s an explanation, not an excuse. He needs to find a way to compensate or that will hurt more areas of his life. You can’t fault him for forgetting, but you CAN fault him for not working on a system to compensate. My bf sets reminders on his phone to hold himself accountable and we have a chalkboard in the kitchen.

Literally, I make sure to keep a on going list of what I need to do on my phone. I don’t always remember to add stuff or check things off but it is a good start. I’ve told him to try to do something similar and he just says that he won’t remember to use it 🙄
