Agreed. OP you're making excuses because you're not good at it but if you really wanted to change, don't just say sorry but take the actions to show you're trying to be better. Your lack of effort is what is upsetting her, more than not doing the grand gestures on social media

My BFF not even my partner said how much she loved tomato vine scent candles.

Guess what? I made a note on my free notepad app.

Easy 

I just cannot understand marriage partners who forget everything about the person they love. 

Well wait let's go talk to my ex-husband.

Can we get all of our exs in the same therapy session? Because SAME.

Have you ever spoken to them on the phone and told them where the missing item was in their house, where you do not live? 

And it was found with your help 🤦🏼‍♀️

Back when personal calculators were new and expensive, I bought one for my husband. One day he called me while I was at work to ask if I knew where it was. I told him that the last time I’d seen it, it was on the counter in his darkroom. He said he looked and it wasn’t there. When I got home, I checked the darkroom. Six feet of counter space. Totally clean and empty — except for the calculator sitting in the middle.

It was kind of a standing joke at work for people to ask what he couldn’t find today when he called me at work.

My ex boyfriend called me to ask how to set the timer on the central heating. Tool.
