Unintentional gaslighting

Is there a word for when your husband insists you did/did not talk about something, but it's not intentional, it's because he literally FORGETS?

We had a short conversation about Xmas dinner. He said, 'Why don't we have lasagna' and I said 'Sure, what should I buy for meat to put in it' and we quickly agreed. I was like, 'sounds good, that's easy, good plan'.

Now, we had a separate discussion about what we're having on New Years Eve. For that holiday, we go all out, so we were talking about stromboli or beef tenderloin and trying to remember what we served last year. We agreed maybe stromboli, but we'll figure it out when we get closer because I'm this close to having Chez Wegman's do all the cooking.

Today I ask him to buy mozarella because me+kids+crowded store yesterday = something was forgotten. He says, 'Ok, sure - and did you buy stuff for stromboli?'

SMH. Wrong conversation, dumbass. But nope - it's ME who's confused. The one who plans ALL the meals and does ALL the shopping.

AHHHHHHHH. THIS IS WHY WE ALL GO NUTS IN MIDDLE AGE.
