I always thought it was nuts that people don't remember, then I turned 30 and got married to someone who has a birthday less than a year before mine. Now I have two ages to remember (that are sometimes the same) and it takes a second for me to remember which is me when asked.

It's not about your age difference. It's just hitting 30. My wife is 5 years younger than me and I couldn't tell you how old either of us are

a birthday less than a year before mine

This took me far too long to understand

Yes! Preach! This is me too. And in addition to being poor at maths I'm also not articulate so I just end up looking goofy when trying to figure out which age is me.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
