Finally accepted my fiancé has CFS and I can’t change him
After years of trying my best to help (and continuously failing), this morning I finally accepted that my fiancé has Can’t Find Shit Syndrome and there is just no fixing him... I have a feeling that most of you out there who have lived with the male species know exactly what I’m talking about!!!
Now that I’ve reached acceptance of the unchangeable, might as well have fun with it... for example, take the missing razor blade cartridges that my fiancé had so much difficulty locating, even after specific directions.. he was so convinced they were “gone,” that he went and bought a whole new pack:
I mean seriously... right in plain sight. In the ONLY cabinet we have in the bathroom... not to mention said cabinet is the ONLY place I’ve ever kept his extra shower stuff/razors/hair product 🤦♀️
Wanted to add this well-written description from sheknows.com 😂:
“Like color-blindness, CFS Syndrome is a predominately male affliction. The main symptom is a frustrating form of object blindness for mundane household items and personal effects used on a daily basis.
The symptoms:
When the desired object is not immediately located with a cursory glance, a peculiar paralysis occurs, rendering the sufferer helpless and unable to function. Immediate intervention from a female household member is required to locate the “missing” item, which is inevitably right in front of the afflicted individual’s nose.
Those suffering from this disorder fail to grasp that the simple concept of looking involves a visual exercise where one must rotate their eyeballs up, down, left, right and around. The efficiency of this exercise is enhanced when combined with neck and head rotations.
Even more radical, the art of looking also involves a third motor component, with your hands and using them to move other objects aside that this missing object might be under or behind. Mastery of this third component appears to be the most challenging.”
I know I’m not the only one out there living with someone who has CFS... comment with your experiences!!! I’m expecting some good laughs 😂
