I feel like I'm getting memory loss/early Alzheimer's. I forget things quite often, and I never noticed until my boyfriend yelled at me about how I needed to be an adult and he couldn't rely on me for anything. I don't do it on purpose, I can't help it! is there anything I can do? do I need to work my brain more, if that's a thing? Are there brain exercises? Any help would be very much appreciated!
Go see a doctor. Memory loss could be indicator of many things. If you have something maybe you'd be better off with perscription meds.
That being said, try ginkgo biloba suppliments. Have a good sleeping schedule. Do crossowords or sudoku or some kind of game requiring logic or memory.
Also even if you don't do it on purpose do you actually care about the things? If you don't really give a shit they can be forgetable.
My gf has a terrible memory. She always forgets shit and when she does recall stuff she gets it wrong.
Except she gets angry at me for bnot remembering it "correctly". I actually got a digital recorder to prove my own sanity to myself because after years of he said she said i started to question whether it was me.
She does smoke copious amounts of weed though and i dont... so i shouldnt have doubted myself.
As for your situation i dont think there is a way other than to really llisten. Learn to listen and not talk. Pay attention which means stopping what your doing and engaging with him.
I find my gf muddles up what were talking about because she nevvver shuts up. So ill be halfway through a sentence and she will cut me off with something thats not really relevative.
Tl;dr... pay attention more.

I'll have to look into that, thanks! And it's not really I don't care, it's just stuff like I forget to fold laundry, or I leave my purse at home constantly when I need it, or forget important information. It's not like he tells me something and I forget it (okay sometimes)

I get frustrated over it, but not over being right or wrong more like I'm upset at myself for not being able to remember coworkers he's mentioned in stories, remembering to do things I need to, etc. I'm more of an observer anyways, I've never been one to talk myself into oblivion since we're usually engrossed in a video game or something. I also get confused mid sentence, and very often forget what I'm talking about so I can relate
