I did this the other day to my wife.

She asked why i put something there, i said i didn't do it you must have (she's 8months pregnant) so she said oh i guess I don't remember but I don't remember a lot at the moment.

I remembered doing it the next day, but I've not told her

There's no such thing as gaslighting. You made that up.

which is why i always put an "i think" on anything my memory could mess up

then, if they take it as correct, they gaslit themselves, because i was clear i wasn't 100% sure about it

I'm a huge fan of "I seem to recall" at least as far as I remember.

Is it “on accident” or “by accident”?

NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 260d

It’s never “on accident”.

pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 261d (4 replies)

i think that's the main punchline here

HowAbt2day@futurology.today · 3 pts · 261d (3 replies)

I mean, which is the correct way to say it. On or by accident? I’ve heard it said both ways.

NOT_RICK@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 261d

On accident wouldn’t be considered correct in a formal context but it’s totally fine in an informal setting.

Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 261d (1 reply)

Just use accidentally. No confusion there

Maybe they gaslit you into thinking you had a bad memory

Neurodivergent families need to be open and not defensive or this accidental gaslighting can ruin childhoods.
