so I set myself a reminder for an event this morning. The even came and went and I deleted the reminder. Now it is constantly popping up almost every half our. I delete is each time and keeps coming back.
It almost sounds like it's a sync issue of some sort. You delete it but it doesn't delete on your wife's phone (which I guess is using the shared reminders list) and that causes it to re-appear on yours, or something along similar lines.
