I think you have a funny way of defining "respecting boundaries" if you're incapable of remembering them.

Those can be mutually exclusive though. You could have every good intention in the world to respect one’s boundaries, but if you forget those boundaries through no fault of your own, how can one continue to respect them?

You can’t blame someone for forgetting. You can’t expect someone to journal every night and affirmations every morning in order to remember. It’s not their fault.

Sorry but I have a bad memory as well and I empathize. I sometimes forget crazily important shit that you’d think one wouldn’t ever forget, but I do and it ends up embarrassing me, so I feel for OP.

i bet it's mostly the adhd not the weed. i was a nonsmoker until i was 35, my memory was dogshit before i started smoking and it's equally dogshit now that i'm a half-ounce-a-week stoner. only difference is im happier now
