My boyfriend forgets a LOT of things...

So my bf always forgets things, whether it be small or big, and I’m so cutting him slack, but *sigh* I know I’m going to get tired of it soon! I know men tend to forget a lot of things, but idk what to do.. the other day he told me that he appreciates that I accept him that way, because not a lot of people have patience with him... but I still feel that he should make the effort to do so, even though I’ve told him, and I feel like he somehow will forget😕
