    4 years since what?

    I just ask bf "ohh what shall we do this weekend, its the anniversary of when we met" so he knows we are doing something!

    He always remembers our anniversary (though I never get a card) but he never remembers my birthday which is the day before our anniversary.

    Yes. I forget every year.... I know, I'm rubbish :o

    OH is more likely to remember than me. Mind you, we don't do anniversary gifts, we buy something together we can both use/benefit from.

    I couldn't tell you date we first met either :)

    And I still have to check his passport to make sure I get his birthday right...

    I have a box of cards for all occasions indoors as I know how rubbish I am at this sort of thing. My mum and two siblings all have birthdays within a week of each other, so each years I send everything on the same day a week before. I couldn't tell you who was born on which day without checking. :o

    Likewise I don't care if people remember mine :o

    I'm not one for getaways and neither is he just nice to get acknowledgment as he has in past said happy anniversary. Perhaps it get stale after a while saying it

    My husband has never forgotten our anniversary and neither have I. I really don't understand how hard it is to write it down if you can't remember without that.

    OP - anniversary of what?

    Always have cards in or when I can't make one of for non-predictable things.

    I use to take day off work but this time figured I just come in so perhaps he sees that I'm not fussed.
  • I won't let OH forget our anniversary!! It does mean that I'm mentioning it at least once a week for the 2 months prior with a 'what are we doing?', but never mind!!

    I can rhyme off all his girls DOBs no bother, yet he can't! So can't really say much when he can't remember mine! Again, it's a weekly reminder for the 2 months prior!

    :D

    Talk to him about it. If you want the two of you to celebrate, make sure he knows!
