Summary

In today's story, OP lives with face blindness, a neurological condition that makes it difficult to recognize faces - even of people she knows well. Her boyfriend, instead of being understanding, "tests" her by changing clothes, hiding his face, or pretending to be someone else. OP has finally had enough and wants to make it crystal clear that this behaviour is not okay.
