My wife lost it with me tonight. She wants a piece of paper that details what I'm going to remember, and what I won't. Really dear? You think the human brain with my little spicy side is going to be on a dr's note pad?

I have full Aphantasia. I have SDAM. I'm on strong pain meds for a degenerative nerve disease, they are opiods, but i think they are messing with my short term memory.

So some things stick, most don't. It's the fact that I can remember some things from a few days ago, but some things she said an hour ago I can't remember.

I am listening to her, I am paying attention to her, some things just don't stick.

What she doesn't realize is that Aphantasia people have been proven to be better at remembering the things they remember. There is a test where there are a bunch of things in different rooms. When asked to state what's in the rooms, Normies will get more things in their list. But they will mix things up like putting a glass mantel over the fireplace, when there was no such thing.

APHANTASIA peeps will simply remember as many as they can, without making mistakes. So less material, but what they remember is correct.

My wife makes plenty of mistakes on things she swears are correct, but I know she's wrong.

So do I hammer her for being wrong? No, I try to be kind. That's all I expect. But it's getting tough.

The worst part is that I'm a happy person but nature, I let stuff slide, she doesn't, can't, won't. I'm not sure which, but it's driving a wedge between us. Any thoughts?
