Husband puts reminders in his phone to pay wife compliments, wife is offended: 'I'm honestly sincerely trying to learn'

We all have our systems of organization. Some of us have handwritten planners we pour our lives into, making little checkboxes and ticking them off with glee. Some of us are more technologically motivated with a suite of G-cals, AI assistants, and workflow apps. However you keep your life in order, you know how important it is. If someone took away my calendar app, I would live my life in a constant state of "Am I supposed to be somewhere right now?" It would be an utter nightmare. Some of us need visual cues to prompt our behavior, or else we will forget key things. That is why CEOs have secretaries and executive assistants. There's no shame in that. 

But what about when it comes to personal stuff? Is your organizational mode of choice also appropriate to remind you to be nice to your wife? One man learned the hard way that his wife didn't think so. Read on for the story.
