Answer 1

Different prioirites. Or rather, Different Motives. I'm the same way I have a bad tendency to forget peoples names, birthdays, important primoses, and the such. And it does have something to do with my inablitiy to care about these things. But is also combined with the fact that I care so much about other things in peoples lives. See I might not be able to remember certain things about a person, but certian other things I can't forget, inperticular for me "Drama" I just get all up in peoples lives, feeling for them, loving them, givin advice, shoot look at my account, I do that with everyone I know in real life to. So I think about all this intense relationship dramas, lifes purpose, relgion, science, live, death, etc, etc, and it has a habit of making me forget those smaller details, which really hurts my family relaitonships, but they know my absent-minded, yet caring ways;), maybe he is the same way. But I just call it a consequence of different motives. I like to change peoples lives and help them immensely to my ablity so remembering a birthday is deep down felt as unimportant enough to me that I don't worry about. But I sure like him, when I finally remember, man does that hurt( me too, I don't like to hurt people!), so yea we need great ladies to keep our minds on track or man depending on the person in question ;)
