You don't know me
In an ideal world, significant others would remember every little fact about their mates, from what kind of shampoo they prefer to how old they were when they got their first kiss.
However, we live in an imperfect world, and no one remembers everything about the other person. I admit, I couldn't tell you my boyfriend's favorite article of clothing or his favorite smell. And I'm guessing there's a hodge podge of facts he couldn't tell you about me.
Memories are funny things. Men can memorize facts like football line ups and baseball statistics but have a horrible time remembering a woman's favorite pair of shoes. Women can remember the exact date Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey broke up but can't recall the name of their mate's favorite quarterback. Is this proof of our priorities?
And to what extent do the so-called "little things" even matter? Can how much we care for each other be measured by knowing how many sugars each person likes in coffee? If these things don't matter, what does?

does this mention of "my boyfriend" mean you have a boyfriend again?
Yes, astute reader, it does, lol. But not the same LDR boyfriend. New local boyfriend :)
local is easier than ldr. daily rather than monthly is better. good choice!
Hey! LDR can be not so bad!! : ) Sure I would rather have my BF in town, but we see each other almost every weekend...so it can be done, and it can be okay!!
As far as this blog, I think you really have to pick and choose what your battles are in relationships, especially when it comes to guys. If you get offended because they don't remember what your favorite color was in the fifth grade, you might want to cut them some slack.
