MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
She seems to think not.
It's our 3rd anniversary today, and if I hadn't reminded her, it would just pass on by without comment.
I know she loves me, and we have a very happy marriage. We just seem to take a different approach to today.
She suggests it's because I don't want to acknowledge Valentine's, which I think is marketing tripe. Maybe I'm being selective.
I'll not bother reminding her for number 4 and just get out for a ride instead....
that should go down well! 😆I'll not bother reminding her for number 4 and just get out for a ride instead..
Not a big deal in my house. I tell her almost every day that I love her so something extra every 365th seems trite. We recently celebrated our 25th. That seemed a bit more special. If we make it to 50 I suppose we might do the same again 🙂
@scotroutes, that's why I think Valentine's is a crock.
I put a bit more weight on celebrating the day we married, but I guess I'm not bothered about birthdays or Christmas, so maybe I'm guilty of over playing it.
@seosamh, I've a year to fully consider that comment 8)
We've never bothered about Valentines either. Our birthdays are low key. We don't make a huge thing of Christmas either (compared to many), especially since our daughter grew up.
Not important at all so long as both of you are happy. 😛
Not important at all.
We've been married 16 years. Both of us realised a few days ago that we had both forgotten our anniversary on the 31st July.
Valentine's Day - pah!!
Nice to remember or not but hardly important, much like Valentine's. Christmas is ace though.
They are for other people to "celebrate" in the same way b'days are.
Every one of them is marketing bollocks
Edit - xmas is just the biggest load of bullshit there is.
neither of us remembered it was ours until sometime in the evening this year so clearly not.
We always take the day off and do something together, same as we do on each others birthday.
Our 10th anniversary on Friday.
Every one of them is marketing bollocks
It's only marketing bollocks if you allow it to be that, you don't have to buy into all that stuff.
Depends how insecure you are.
If it matters to one of you it is, if your doing something even though you hate it then something bigger is wrong.
Every one of them is marketing bollocks
Or not, or something you can celebrate for zero cost and no hassle just by you know celebrating it.
We tend to remember, but that's about it. Maybe a bottle of slightly posh wine in the evening.
I'd be grateful, in a lot of relationships Men are required to put on a bit of a performance for anniversaries, and worse still lead into a trap of forgetting it.
I'd be far more worried if my wife woke up on the morning of ours and wanted to know how I planning to celebrate it, probably knowing full-well I'd forgotten - that's a relationship in trouble.
Seems apt as we are talking anniversaries
Pretty unimportant for me and my good lady, other than to reflect how long we've been together over a drink at some point round the time (16 years married) 😯
Missus sent me a happy anniversary text whilst I was doing the Ard Rock last week!
On a similar note.
"We're not doing presents this christmas"
She actually meant it which i dont think is playing fair!
Depends on the people , we regularly both forget ours and we're doing ok . Saying that it was our 10th in Feb and I got her some jewellery as 10 years seemed right to do something.
The real answer is if it's important to your partner then you should make the effort
Ha that old no gift trap.
28yrs married last week. Always get a card for Mrs b cheeky humorous one edited to suit us.
Never done Valentine's but then her birthday is just a day or two away so little point. We do celebrate (well go for a meal) our wedding anniversary, means more to [b]us[/b] than general ones like Xmas.
Same as Jon1973
If you have busy lives,it's a good excuse to take a bit of time out from the day to day and remember where you started.
I never take what we have for granted so it's nice to celebrate it.
First met on a New Years eve(30yrs)and got married on an April fools day (28yrs),not dates we are going to forget that easy 😉
Ha that old no gift trap.
Nono you misss understand.
Assumed usual trap.
Carefully chose gift to finely balance "no gift" with "ofcourse I got you a gift"
Christmas comes.
Me "heres your gifts as I knew you werent serious about that"
Her "I was, you're literally getting nothing from me not even a card"
Most anniversaries - not important.
Upcoming 40th, - yes, I might even buy her a card.
(My best man, bless him, told me the night before our wedding that he'd reckon we would split up within a year.
This has made me realise it's our 24th wed anniversary tomorrow, probably will pass like any other day.
Happily married for all of them by the way, so it's a no from me.
No.
A solid excuse for securing babysitters and getting out for good meal.
Best way to remember your wedding anniversary is to forget it once.
