I'm not sure what it is about WAS's and their memory loss when it comes to paying bills, but it happened with my H all the time.
In fact, before the D in early May, we took a trip together to see his family and he agreed to split the cost of gas if I'd pay upfront.
Of course, he promised to pay when he got his expense check a week or so later. In mid June, I had a text that I'd get the money asap. On July 4th, he said he'd do it right away and even agreed to do it right then during our conversation. We use Chase quickpay, so it literally takes a few seconds to send it.
I didn't get the money until yesterday when I was at his apt, reminded him again, and watched him get on the website.
I'd keep telling him that I hated to nag, which is why I'd wait at least a week between asking, but when you're counting on the money, it is important.
I really think they have so many issues going through their heads that the simplest things don't stick. I guess it's a good thing that somehow they still manage to keep their jobs!
Wish I had better news for you, but at least know that you're not alone.
