Hi Rose. That was a big issue in my MR as well. My H is quite forgetful and in actuality, has become quite reliant on my reminders - but he also resented me for them. I have completely stepped back from reminding him about anything or making any suggestions about how to do something "better" unless he asks me for help. For the most part, he has done really well with it. Don't know if he has noticed my 180 on this but he seems happier when he is around me. I really hate the hindsight is 20/20. I wish foresight could be that way too. smile
