How come men can't remember things?

I don';t know whose right or wrong here. I don't think it's ever been proven that women have better memories than men, and I think almost all men, if not all of them are like your husband, not just your husband is like that. I wish someone would do a study on genders to find out why this is so. Like I would like to know if married men have worse memories than single men, because before I married my husband he miraculously knew how to cook and clean and remember his moms birthday and now when he cooks he asks me where the ingreditents are so often, I might as well just cook it myself.

I don't believe that. I think it is a matter of interest and necessity. If you remember things for him, he doesn't need to, so his brain has gotten lazy about it. For instance, my boyfriend can remember names and stats of players on all sorts of teams going back for decades (something I am hopless at, because I am not interested) but he can't remember which cabinet we keep the flour in (because I usually am the one using it, or what brand of toothpaste we buy). You usually remember the things that fall in line with your interests, like sports, or music, or recepies, and those things will stick in your mind real easy, while things outside the interest areas, even though they are important, aren't remembered as easily (like anniverseries).

Maybe you are looking it in the wrong way. Maybe that is the way he is telling you how he loves you and that he's so dependent in you that he can't live without you. My husband also ask me for everything like, "Where do you think I placed my keys?" I have a knack at observing people around me so I tend to see where my husband misplaced his stuffs. He greatly appreciates what I do and never misses to return the gesture. Instead of feeling resentment, try to remember that one of the reason why we marry is to take care of each other.

Yes even my husband says i am his reminder package and I need to keep reminding him things and stuff. But its not cause their memory is weak or something, its only cause they done take things seriously, the moment they do that they will remember everything without fail.
