Today, my wife informed me her wallet was stolen from her unlocked car in our driveway. Three weeks ago, she misplaced her credit card that has all the monthly charges and Amazon tied to it. We've talked a lot about importance of locking her car, and she's constantly looking for her credit cards, license, etc. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. FML
Today, after a week of looking for my car keys and being forced to drag my family around on public transportation, my wife found the keys in our car's ignition. FML
Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML
Today, the police called because someone had turned in my wallet that was stolen. I happily drove home only to find that my house had been robbed and ransacked. FML
Today, I went to the bank to get a temporary debit card, since I lost my wallet a week ago. On my drive across the street from the bank to the DMV, a car slammed into mine at the intersection, nearly totaling my car. The movie theater I went to last week just called and said they'd found my wallet. FML
Today, I left a note on the kitchen table saying to leave the door unlocked because I lost my key. I come home to find our house ransacked and robbed. Minutes later, I found my key. In my pocket. FML
Today, my live-in mother-in-law brazenly swiped most of the money from my wallet, then walked out of the room as if nothing had happened. The worst thing is that my wife believes anything she says, so I can't do a damn thing about it. FML
Today, I was playfully walking back to my car with my girlfriend. My door was unlocked. I then noticed my car had stuff scattered inside. A bum had just robbed and ransacked my car. FML
Today, my car was stolen from my driveway. I reported it to the police, the insurance company, and my neighbors, and begged for help via social media. As I walked to catch a bus, I saw my car parked outside my school. I forgot I left it there last night. FML

Sadly, some people are just not really competent at dealing with the ordinary stuff life is made from. Do you want to be her parent or her partner? I have to assume you already knew she had this problem before you married her unless this is a recent change. If this is a fairly recent change, there could be a medical explanation that’s worth checking out.. OP will need to figure out if they are willing to “parent” an adult. By the way, did she start taking a cholesterol medication recently?

Ok, here's what I'll do for you: Send me all your credit card info and next time she loses them, call me and I'll have them canceled. Easy peasy, you're welcome.

Your wife might have some kind of neurodivergence that causes this, I know people with ADHD lose things constantly.

Losing things is one thing (I’d know, adhd with a few TBI’s and memory loss), but even *I* make sure to lock my car doors. Even with my memory issues I manage it. This lady is just plain careless.

If she can't remember to lock her door, then I worry what else she forgets to do.

If she's going to be as responsible as a teenager, then treat her as such and take all those things away from her.
