Has he/you ever forgotten your anniversary?

I do not know when I met my partner either, I know roughly but its not something we would celebrate.

I dont suppose hes taking anything for granted, some people just dont go heavy on all the details.

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

I have one aunt/uncle and several friends who I sent a card every year and they to us. Did send to parents as well. I'm always double-checking how many years as I'd hate to miss a big one!

We both regularly forget our wedding anniversary - it's not something we've ever really celebrated. I can pinpoint the rough date to early August but would have to check back in a calendar for the specific year to be reminded of the exact date.

I've incorporated my birthday and our anniversary into his passwords but he could still forget without prompting. He has no idea of kids' birthdays.

Having said that, we don't set great store on anniversaries and don't send each other cards for those or birthdays. Neither of us would have a clue about what date we first met or went out. He does make me home made Valentines though .

I did actually forget! I didn't forget to buy a present or card, just forgot the date when I was arranging a night out with friends and told OH its on the XXth of september, and he said XXth? What day is that?And then it dawned on me....

I genuinely find it interesting, and I do not mean this in a snide way, because I like when people do things differently, but to me out marriage is a precious but personal thing.

We might invite others to celebrate a 'big one with us' I suppose but I would find it a little odd and slightly....uncomfortable tbh if people were sending us cards for things like that. Maybe its because I don't really think those dates are so important but that everyday how we live is more, maybe its because I a, a grumpy and cynical sourpuss!

On our last wedding anniversary, we both forgot, in fact I struggle to remember the exact date never sure if 30th or 31st!
I don't need a card or flowers to prove love and devotion he does that everyday working daft shifts to keep us all.
If we do remember its just a case of happy anniversary love.
I don't need hallmark to do that.

I sent her an anniversary card on her birthday. - Twice--

My argument in my defence was it it is an anniversary.

Yes I find it a bit weird too, my best friend had a huge bouquet on her anniversary, from her mil along with family cards.
Whats that all about?
I too would only want to celebrate a big one and even then not sure.
