Is my wife retarded?

submitted by OriginalGoat to AskUpgoat 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 02:21:53 ago (+36/-1)     (AskUpgoat)

She doesn't put things back in the same place. It makes no fucking sense. Do normal people not put things in the same place habitually? TV remote on the same table, batteries in the same drawer, blankets on the same shelf? I don't understand. Phone charger is always in a different outlet, purse in a different room. Always searching for car keys.

Let's pretend you have a cellphone, car keys, hat, sunglasses, wallet and vest when you get home. You put them in the same spot?

Some fucking chaos going on.

No(yes). She's a woman(so yes). Their brains work differently. They don't understand order the same way men do. It doesn't make it worse(it is), but it makes it worse to us(it's still just worse).

I'm a man and I'm awful for putting things away. I tend to hyperfocus on one thing at a time and forget everything else.

I don’t think this trait for disorganization is sex linked at all. My mother was tidy and my father was a mess. Of us kids, each tends to take after one or the other.

Me neither, or at least not in general. My sister is the tidy one, so was my mother. Me and my father are the scatty ones (although me slightly less than him I think).

Sound like ADHD.

https://www.additudemag.com/how-to-stop-losing-things-simple-rules-adhd/

Why do people with ADHD have a tendency to misplace things, though? I can think of at least four reasons.

Inattention : Staying up to date on the current location of a certain object requires constant vigilance. All it takes is a moment of inattention to lose the thread. You put your keys down in one room, then you leave the room without thinking about where your keys are. You lean your umbrella against the wall in a restaurant, then you leave the restaurant without giving your umbrella any notice. One moment of low alertness is enough for you to later find yourself having to retrace your steps, straining to figure out: when was the last time I saw my umbrella/keys/whatever, and where was the critical point of inattention at which things went awry?

Disorganization : People with ADHD are multitalented. Were inattentive, yes, but were also disorganized. Which means that we create opportunities for objects to disappear into a mess of papers, fall off the radar in a pile of clutter, or float out into a universe of other random objects that lack any overarching organizational system.

Forgetfulness : Often, people with ADHD are only sort of paying attention to what theyre doing. This side of ADHD can be thought of as half-attention or as going on autopilot: youre doing something, but your brain isnt really focused on what youre doing. Because youre not fully processing your own actions, its easy to forget those actions ever took place. So, when it comes to losing things, the scenario goes something like this: you file some documents away in a drawer while youre thinking about something else entirely, and you subsequently have no recollection of having put those documents anywhere at all.

Milk-in-the-Cupboard Syndrome : Then there are times when we lose something by just putting it in the hopelessly, completely wrong place. Call it milk-in-the-cupboard syndrome, keys-in-the-dishwasher disorder, whatever you want in any case, its another effect of the ADHD brain operating on autopilot and of inattention.

I don’t really believe in ADHD or any of these behavioral conditions as a psychological disease. People have strengths and weaknesses and the cognitive strengths generally come at some sort of trade off, like being a disorganized mess. The trope of the absent-minded professor comes to mind, though certainly everyone who is absent minded isn’t a genius, and I think traits can be linked like this.

I think that many people have ADHD like traits because in the past it was not particularly harmful NOT to have those traits, or that having ADHD traits may tend to come with a behavioral pay-off in some other area. I really don’t think it should be thought of as a disease or dysfunction. For instance, hundreds of years ago, if you were 15 minutes late for everything, did it really matter?

Of course some of these problems could be the result of some mild brain damage, but I tend to think they aren’t in most cases. Perhaps having these traits is more of a disadvantage in modern society than it was a few generations ago. Or perhaps more people with lousy coping skills are surviving and reproducing because of increased prosperity.

But I think psychology is totally broken because its understanding of this sort of behavioral deficiency is wrong headed.

If it is injuries my suspicion is vaccine injuries.

I agree though, their status as a disease is questionable given how adaptive they can be. Then again they can be highly maladaptive.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 22:52:50 ago (+1/-0)

If it is injuries my suspicion is vaccine injuries.

I am certain it is in some cases. I just don’t know if its 1 in 1000 or 1 in 20.

I agree though, their status as a disease is questionable given how adaptive they can be.

There’s a temptation to attribute every instance of underperformance as if it was a psychiatric or psyhological disease and then blame your mom or the white patriarchy for it. But everybody cant be in the top 50%. You should expect a normal distribution of neat freaks and slobs. Maybe some people are slobs because the got dropped on their head. But I still think most slobbery is a natural phenomenon.

Yeah that all sounds extremely familiar.

No it doesn't. Slow down, decide to train yourself to put things away in the same place until it becomes habit (and make places for things). Then there's no attention required.

People with ADHD are multitalented.

Doubtable.

Sounds like a lot of excuses for not saying no to impulsiveness.

It's ok to be a women @cunt, we understand women are inherently disorganised and irrational.

Everything a women touches is chaos theory. The less men have access to womens personal effects, the more disorganised it becomes. Take a look at the contents of handbags.

Tools, remotes, kitchen utencils, every item will find a new "home" after a woman has touched it.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 2 points 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 08:13:06 ago (+2/-0)

But it isn’t true. Some men are inherently disorganized and some women are fastidious. This is a trait that seems to vary independently of sex.

All humans are irrational. Look at you, trying to argue that only women are disorganized. You disregard mountains of evidence to the contrary. You have to ask yourself why you are doing that. Or maybe you don’t, because you’re not particularly rational.

[ - ] UncleDoug 0 points 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 08:46:28 ago (+0/-0)

You have to admit it rings true more often than not.

Nothing is ever returned to where it belongs. This I have found to be accurate enough to become a universal stereotype of most women almost everywhere.

Take a look at handbags, I rest my case.

[ - ] Artificial_Intelligentile 3 points 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 10:06:23 ago (+3/-0)

maybe had you been in more womens appartments you would change your mind. women are obsessed with having a special place for every item, from my point of view.

[ - ] youregay 5 points 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 03:32:39 ago (+5/-0)*

Yes. Probably the primary reason I am single again. My ex-wife would use something and literally drop it where she stood when finished. If I wouldn't pick it up it would be there forever. I would find rusty tools in the grass, etc. Same with trash. So fucking glad to be rid of that. You can only try to reprogram someone for so long before realizing they are just defective and move on. It shows a huge lack of respect. If you don't have kids, run.

I tried with her for 9 years. It drove me into depression living in such disgusting conditions. I've salvaged the rest of my life and really don't give a shit what your opinion of it is.

I find the term monogamy trending in most of your comments PostWallHelena. People are going to start and connect the dots soon at this rate.

Lol. Good. Polygamy, also sometimes known as serial monogamy, is the cause of most of the crime and corruption in the world.

Sounds like my wife. I have concluded that this is because she is a woman, and is irrational by nature. So, by male standards, I guess that makes her retarded.

Her mother never taught her how to make a home AKA "homemaker".

Her mom is surprisingly the ultimate homemaker. She went to school for homemaking, she's amazing really.

[ - ] Special_Prosecutor 0 points 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 16:01:42 ago (+0/-0)

Ok, but your mother in law may have never taught your daughter. The mother may have enabled the daughters poor behavior by organizing for her instead of teaching/making her do it herself. Do you notice this dynamic now, as adults? What does the inlaw think/do/say when visiting your wifes house?

My inlaws were only teenagers when my wife was born. Children themselves. And never taught my wife several rudimentary housekeeping organizational skills. Ive had to teach her myself with various degrees of success and failure.

Get a tape measure and find the distance between the kitchen and the bedroom. Divide it in half, buy THAT length of chain and secure a shackle to the center point. Lock the chain to that shackle and around your wife's ankle.

Problem solved.

My wife is the same!

Nothing ever goes back in the same place.

So not only she can't find it. I can't find shit either. It's a type of retardation imho.

Have you checked to see if she’s a psychopath?

This is a woman thing.

Every time I've ever had to call someone's phone so we can search for it... that someone... a woman.

In all my life I have NEVER lost my phone. I know where it is. Its on the stand charging, where it's supposed to be.

Oh, and don't try and fix the problem. It won't work. No solution will work.

[ - ] Her0n 2 points 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 03:55:14 ago (+2/-0)

I have to ask you one question, do you help her find her belongings when she is looking for it?

Mine does the same thing (unless it’s something relating to the kitchen) with her smaller belongings. She loses her phone most often. Once I stopped helping her reclaim her objects she has gotten a little bit better.

Don’t expect her to change much in this regard, it’s not the end of the world if she remains the same. Marriage is bigger than that petty shit, better to turn it into a game and have fun with her.

Well,she married you,so I don't think that's a question you're going to like the answer to.

She's lazy and doesn't care. Same problem at my house. I'm the only one who cares about putting things in the proper place or proper order. It just doesn't matter to them.

And,of course,when they can't find something,guess who gets yelled at to help.

[ - ] PeckerwoodPerry 1 point 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 04:15:03 ago (+1/-0)

No, she doesn't do that. Some things, like cigarettes and lighters we have a different idea of where that right spot is. She doesn't smoke cigarettes, so whatever she thinks is wrong. She doesn't do the cooking, so wherever I keep the salt I cook with should be the right space, but to her it's not.

Seriously, she may had ADHD or whatever it's called. Sounds like what my sister does and she isn't retarded.

If she isn't whoring around, dressing like a whore, bitching about you to her friends or generally acting like a THOT I would just simmer down and take care of your own issues.

[ - ] BitterVeteran 0 points 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 14:27:27 ago (+0/-0)

My female is the same way. Takes something out of the fridge and just sets it down on the first available space, no matter what size the object is. Consistently, those spaces are blocking my access to something I need, instead of everything being in its spot and not blocking anything.

She never has her wallet in the same spot. She has three 'purses', which are basically nice looking garbage sacks to haul old receipts, mail, and empty Walgreens Rx bags.

Every time she gets out of my car I have to readjust the passenger seat belt so it's not violently twisted and then awkwardly clanking around. She'll just sit down in the car, no matter what is on the seat. Eye glasses beware. I don't fucking get it! Just sits down! Doesn't look!

But if one fucking pillow is out of place on the bed... Or if the blanket is askew on the back of the chair...

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 3.3 yearsJan 6, 2022 08:46:36 ago (+0/-0)

In a way, your wife is retarded.

Being neat or messy is overwhelmingly genetic. Some people are born with brains that are good at these sort of tasks. Others aren’t

You can tell her its a real problem and she needs to consciously make it a higher priority to be organized— she might be able to modify her behavior a little. But I believe that this stuff really isn’t a choice. People just are this way or not.

Perhaps she has a behavioral strength that you lack; perhaps you complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses well. I suggest you focus on that when you feel frustrated about this, because she will never really be able to change, in all likelihood.

She never "really" agreed to where things were put. Did you arrange everything or did she move in with you into your place?

She still remebers where things went in her old place(s) and never adapted to this new arrangement.
