He's making the problem, so he can solve it. Sounds rough, but really, he will figure out a way to not have it happen again. (Hubs leaves for church earlier than I and leaves his hearing aids at home. Calls me to bring them to him. After a few times of my also "forgetting" them, he's figured out how to remember them!)
Edited to add: I have been married almost 47 years, and it took many, many years of "pleasing"to get to the point of allowing him be responsible for his mistakes. Just sayin'.
Coopah, I can so relate. I've been married almost 30 years and have finally learned that lesson, too. My husband is the worst about stuff like that. Or using something up, not putting it on the grocery list and yet expecting me to know to get more by telepathy. When he'd ask if I'd gotten something, I finally started saying "Was it on the list?"
He's gotten to where he puts it on the list or gets it himself. I've also made him solve his own problems. Its amazing what men can do if we don't fix it for them
