Now, there just are some things you absolutely cannot forget when it comes to your relationship.
As a good partner, it's probably a good shout to remember your significant other's birthday, your anniversary, how they take their tea and any major health risks to steer clear of.
Well, it appears like one couple clearly didn't have the last point down after a woman's boyfriend fed her fish 'forgetting' she was allergic.

Now, according to the NHS, allergies to fish or shellfish are quite common and can cause severe reactions in sufferers.
The official website explains that people who are allergic to one type of fish often react to other types and, similarly, people who are allergic to one type of shellfish, such as prawns, crabs, mussels or scallops, often react to other types.
The most commons of a fish allergy include hives, 'nettle' rash or swelling on the face.
Some may experience an itchy throat while others vomit or have diarrhoea. Severe reactions are less common, but can include difficulty in breathing (wheeze or swelling in the throat) and feeling faint or dizzy.
Vapours from the fish may trigger an asthma attack in children who are allergic, the North West Allergy Network states.
So, you can understand why it was such a big deal when one woman shared the aftermath of her allergic reaction to TikTok in a nine-second-clip which has since gone viral after clocking up a staggering 50.9 million views.
The video saw Lexi Hensler, who goes by the handle @lexihensler online, with an extremely swollen face before panning to her boyfriend who was 'frantically' filling out forms at the hospital.
The overlay text read: "POV: your boyfriend forgets you're allergic to fish."
She did, however, caption the post: "But did he forget or did I forget to tell him..."
People clearly couldn't wait to share their reactions to Lexi's video with one TikTok user observing: "He looks STRESSED filling out the paperwork too."
A second pointed out: "The way he’s frantically filling out the paper."
"He is SO stressed lol," penned a third, while a fourth chimed in: "That man looks like he is panicking!"
He sure does.
Others questioned how she even accidentally ate fish in the first place: "He forgot but how did you end up eating it?"
"How did you not know you were eating fish?" asked another.
A final TikTok user added: "Living on the edge!"
That's definitely one way of seeing it.
