You’ve just made me realize that my brain is (more) broken than I thought it was.

This explains why I lose every argument with my wife about things that happened in the past.

No! You can fight back! The thing I have realised about SDAM is that although you don’t get that emotional/movie/visual experience, you also remember what you remember.

My wife (and particularly my daughter), have vivid imaginations that can make memories up at times. If I’ve “fact-committed” a memory, it’s not wrong.

Granted, this only helps in the 0.1% of cases when you have done the fact memory committal and can thus have any argument at all. For the rest it’s “I don’t remember that, and your memory is unreliable, so…”. Ahh the comforting couch, I should just take my pillow there now ;-)

Oh no… that is just every marriage.
Your brain isn't broken. You're just a man.
Now wait until you have arguments about the future…
Perhaps you just think you are loosing.
