    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.

    We officially met 4yrs ago after much online chit chatting then pretty much inseparable.

    Last one we both totally forgot, in-laws forgot, my parents forgot. The only way I remembered was when my best friend text me being incredibly apologetic that she'd forgotten! OH was very, very unwell the lead-up week and weekend, which is normally when one of us remembers. We don't really care less about anniversaries unless it's a 'big' one.

    I am very forgetful, hence why I use Outlook Calendar to remind me of all the important dates. So far havent missed an occasion yet.

    I forget our important dates all the time.

    Is the relationship good? Is he kind and loving and supportive and does he make you want to do the best you can in your life?

    I've never come across celebrating the date a couple met.

    I always get cards from my Dad and from an aunt as well as friends and would know something was very wrong if they forgot.

    I used to forget most years. I'm rubbish with dates, however, it was our 10th wedding anniversary a couple of months ago and I had that battered into my brain since the beginning of the year so I couldn't have forgotten it if I'd tried! :cool:

    One year my husband forgot our wedding anniversary...he's not forgotten since!

    For some reason he's the one who always remembers the date we met I used to get a bunch of roses which increased by one each year but now he's moved on to a box of cadbury roses, with the corresponding number of chocolates to years...roll on a tin thats what I say !

    My parents never remembered their wedding anniversary and only ever realised when as children we might make them a card...when we all left home and they retired to make up for the lost anniversaries they decided each year to take an anniversary holiday for the whole of july...they never remembered the date but figured if they were away for the whole month then one of the days would be their anniversary.

  • I have a vague idea of the date we met, oh has no idea, but knows its vaguely the beginning of the year.

    We don't celebrate any sort of anniversaries for our relationship... I don't think we're missing out on anything significant!!

    The only anniversary I care about is our wedding date, when we met never got a mentioned (I wouldn't know..) and now that we're married our "dating" anniversary is irrelevant too..

    I've never sent a card to anyone else for their anniversary. The most I might do, if some how I remember, is call them and say, 'hey I remembered its your anniversary, congratulations' or offer to babysit. :)

    We made our important dates...well, most of them, all on the same date, so that it would help me remember them. I still forget.:D
