What would suggest as a next step. Regards XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
Repeat and emphasize the same information over and over again!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this short term memory your wife has. From the information you have presented, it seems to be as a result of lack of interest on her side. To address this, I will suggest that you talk only the very important things to her and always try to repeat over and over to make sure that she somehow gains interest in what you said. Also, adding a one liner like this is of great importance to us might draw her attention to paying more interest and thus remembering it at a later time. Above all, be sweet as a husband to her, too!
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
