DAMMIT. Just let it go already! Even Janine wanted him to knock this off, but Ben is STILL doing it. And Peter! For god sake, just offer to get a telepath to help Ben get his memories back!
You're right, this is a totally solvable problem. At least it's a little more believable for Peter not to offer a telepathic solution when Ben is saying "I need to move on with my own life, be my own person" instead of "I NEEEEED your MEMMMMORIIIIES, PEEEETER..!"
Why Ben isn't seeking some kind of telepathic solution instead of just...I dunno...hanging around, waiting for some solution to present itself, and hoping that a veteran superhero doesn't notice someone skulking outside his window (I get that Ben probably wouldn't trigger Peter's spider-sense, but that excuse only goes so far) is left as an exercise for the reader.
Because Marvel still has this thing where they try to pretend such fantastic solutions don't exist and that their world is still kinda like ours. Same reason why Spidey villains invent flying harnesses, vibration gauntlets and holographic projectors, and then use them to knock over banks instead of just selling the tech and making a fortune.
I can suspend my disbelief if this *was* self-contained. But then they had a crossover with the X-Men and did this very thing for Madelyne Pryor that they, for some reason, didn’t also do for Ben despite the two teaming up.
