Should I be upset?


My spouse and I have been together for 26 years, happily unmarried. The topic of eye colour came up the other day. Low and behold he asked me what colour my eyes were. We were in a poorly lit room and he couldn't remember what colour my damn eyes are! He then guessed green. No they're blue asshole!

I knew a couple of men, old work colleagues who had no idea about their wives eye colour. It's not unusual but if I'm honest I would go apeshit!!

A few years ago, I was helping a couple with their shopping. The man drifted off to look at something else, while the woman and I continued chatting. Because I am interested in astrology, I asked what was her birthday, and she told me. A bit later, the man returned. She said to him, “Hey, when’s my birthday?” He started stammering. He clearly had no idea. She stopped him. She said, “We’ve been together for three years, and you don’t know my birthday! R_Kane’s been with me for three minutes, and he knows more about me than you do!”

You can’t take me anywhere. I admit it.

No,in poor light you can't appreciate the right colour

For example,in poor visibility you can say the colour of a car is black,when it's actually blue

Don't be upset,it happens

Hey mate I've been with him for 26 years and we haven't spent the whole time in poor light

Maybe he need his sight checked up

Kick his ass!

Thatswhatshesaid,
I like your handle!
What else is new?????

reply

Uh, yeah, you should be upset. This is nothing to "remember"! He should just know.
Did he forget your name too!

Are they the same eyes he told you he loved looking into?

Somebody should be getting a nice present!!!!!!!

reply

I'm not standing up for Mister Sunny but eyes are complex.

reply

Well, be upset all you want. And then, when you're not upset anymore, forgive him. Hey, you have been together happily for 26 years! Some forgiveness wouldn't be a bad thing, right?

reply

Hey man I know. There's just something about a human's eyes that you should know like the back of your hand after so long...

That's right slap the old clichéd nagging spoilt spouse thing on me.

I'm sorry for getting snippy.

Short answer 'yes' with an 'if'

Long answer 'no' with a 'but'

You certainly should be upset and feel free to give him hell for a day or two...

Having said that, ill tell you this about most guys-we get distracted, lose focus because work crap is on our minds or just plain zone out thinking about building projects and garden chores pretty often...i do it all the time

26 years! Give him a hard time for a minute and then go back to loving him-
Guys can be dopes but most of us mean well

Best wishes🌞
