Today, my girlfriend has memory issues because of a car accident. She broke up with me because I was acting like if things were more serious that she wanted them to be. She forgot she proposed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my longterm girlfriend and I broke up after 2 months of me not being myself, due to repressed memories of a childhood trauma. Prior to this coming up, I was about about ask her to marry me. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me for not remembering our anniversary. Our three week anniversary. FML
Today, my girlfriend slapped me and dumped me because she thought I was gay, simply because I had to miss a date because one of my guy friends was in a car accident, and I went to see him at the hospital. FML
Today, I went to see my girlfriend to talk about my anxiety, because it's been a big issue. She broke up with me instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend of five years was in a bad car crash, and ended up with a concussion. He didn't remember me. At all. But he remembered his other girlfriend he had cheated on me with for two months. FML
Today, I went for a drive to clear my head of relationship issues. That night, I got pulled over. Lost the car and my license. I texted my girlfriend, saying I was sorry; she left. Lost her too. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I forgot it was her birthday. We had only been dating for 2 weeks. I didn't even know when it was. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me telling me I have problems communicating and that I didn't understand her. When I asked her why she didn't talk to me about this before she said "I didn't want to talk about it." FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I cancelled our date tonight. I cancelled because I had a seizure and was taken to the hospital. FML
Today, my girlfriend ended things. We'd had issues because of my communication skills and her confidence, but we were working on it. The last straw? That I couldn't stay with her one night because I suddenly had to go home and take care of my sick mother. She then asked to talk and said I was neglecting her. FML

Put on a fake beard and make her fall in love with you all over again. PS: I know you are female — that is what makes this plan so audaciously brilliant.

OP you have my sympathy on this one. My girlfriend who became my wife has memory issues. Her issue is also medical because of a stroke she had in her 20’s. In my wife’s case if she is stressed, it gets worse. If you are like me it can be painful re-experiencing uncomfortably memories - Such as having to explain again and again things like why my previous marriage ended in the beginning of our relationship. My wife has been dealing with this a long time and has her coping mechanisms. She is very organized and keeps a calendar on her desk and in her purse of all her plans and appointments. She is a bit inflexible on that at times, but I understand it’s part of how she copes. I trust that your girlfriend with the memory issues sees a neurologist regularly. It is possible to love, live with, and marry a person with memory issues. But it’s not easy for either of you. You will have to decide if the relationship can survive these issues. The only other thing I can say is, just because your partner or spouse is forgetful, do not count on them forgetting things you would rather they forget. It does not usually work like that.

Try using what is called a memory board ,it's a chalk or dry erase board placed someplace easily seen like on the fridge and you write any important events, issues or whatever on there so that the person with the memory problems can be reminded of what they need to remember 😊

talk to her and remember the good moments together and trigger the happy moments and all it will make it come back but do it slowly and be patient she ll appreciate it more. tell her to have a talk and you 'll see it 'll work out! good luck!

She remembers proposing. She’s dumping you for not being the one to propose.
