Does a slight memory slip indicate bigger problems?

A question for the group...

This morning I got up as usual and headed out for a little jog, then back to the newly acquired corporate apartment for a quick shower, etc. I decide that my skin needs a bit of moisture so I remove my rings (the 2 that I wear all the time...1. my engagement ring and 2. a garnet ring that my fiance gave me for our anniversary) and begin to rub lotion on my legs. Phone rings, I answer, continue to moisturize...finish task, finish phone call and rush out the door as I am now 15 minutes off schedule.

I notice halfway through the morning that I have forgotten both of my rings. I mention to my best friend over lunch and she insists that this is a sign of trouble in our relationship...that I "inadvertantly" left the rings behind because I want to be free or am feeling trapped by the current circumstances of my life (our life together). I dismiss it as total BS. But I'm curious as to what the group thinks of her psycho-babble...

Utter nonsense!

I think it is not a relatioship problem but an indication of help needed when moisturising
This of course can be incorporated in to your daily violation which I offer here

I agree with Silva.

Finish de fuckin story whydontcha ?

maybe your friend is not keen on your bloke?
anyway, it sounds like complete balderdash to me...

I agree with Silva! You just have a lot on your mind (uh work) and you're exhausted (referencing an earlier post).
Forget about it! Your friend is probably jealous.

I continually leave my front door keys in the front door itself. I see no reason other than that I am just on auto pilot, and therefore forgetfull. Or drunk.

well, parnell, as you alreadz know the phone call was actually kinky phone sex...

but i really didn't want to share all that with the group let's keep that between you and me

Theres such a thing as "non" Kinky Phone Sex?

take a wild guess...

To hear your woman tell it, yes, but I really didn't want to reveal your secrets too. Sorry, Rus.

I told you that in the upmost confidence and here was me thinking we were friends!

I would say that the bigger concern is that you even questioned your relationship due to something your friend mentioned, not that you forgot to put your rings back on.

I didn't question my relationship...my friend insists that it is a sign of problems. I never said that I bought into her theory. I actually thought that it was a strange jump from one topic to another. If you read the original post, I think you can tell what my feelings are about her thoughts, but I was simply wondering if others out there, can see her point or would think the same way.

I thought it might be a sign of early Alzheimer's, which to me would be a bigger problem, but other than that, nothing.

I can't even tell you how many times I have been running late and forgot to put on my engagement/wedding ring(s) over the past 7 years. The first time it happened (about a week after I got the engagement one) I strolled into work and my work friends went nuts. I had no idea I forgot to put it on until they told me!! As my then fiancé (now hubby)and I used to work together, work friends were worried that he would "find out" about my "secret". They gave me tips like to avoid him all day or to keep my hands in my pockets. To shut them up, I called fiancé (now hubby) and explained the situation right in front of work friends. He said, "As long as you didn't lose it, who cares!"

And I say to you the same sage words . . . .

Then there was the time I put my rings in a real safe place. . . and forgot where that safe place was. And we tore the whole house apart looking for them. And all along they were underneath some socks. Yea. . . don't do that. That really gets 'em angry.

people forget things all the time, tell your 'friend' to mind her own business. Its not a sign of a problem in your relationship, its a problem, that you are stressed out! Totally different issue.

This is actually a sign that your friend is a fuckwit who belongs permanently in a Jerry Springer Show audience. You have a duty to help her - don't shirk it.

i'd be worried about anyone who says it's a problem!

I couldn't shit properly this morning ...was it because of the solar eclipse we had on Monday...

If U have a relationship problem the only one who would know it the best would be yourself...not ur slipdisk friend or a public forum..

Yes the eclipse as affected the angle of your colon and I am afraid you will be stuck with this until the next eclipse

The summer before I left my now ex I kept not wearing my rings, but that was on purpose. I wonder: If you had forgotten your watch, would your friend say it's because you were going to drop dead sometime today? Let her do the psycho-thing and enjoy your relationship - with or without rings (or whips and chains for that matter).

Your friend is a 'drama queen'.

Maybe your "friend" is jealous of your obviously happy and stable (I have seen how you and finacee interact together) relationship?

yeah I agree! and I bet she doesn't leave home if her horoscope says something bad might happen today..

I forgot which door it was to get into my flat the other night. I can just imagine some terrified person on the other side thinking it was a burglar or something after i tried unsuccessfully for about five mins to force my key into the lock. I don't think meant anything else other than i couldn't see due to the vast amounts of alcohol consumed earlier in the day.

BTW you had any joy with the kittens?

Left my front door open for 10 days while I went on a business trip to Hong Kong - we forget stuff, it happens! (Plus I'm probably a bit dizzy some days!)

The fact that you've even considered whether or not your friend has a point is much more of a worry than your forgetting your rings.
