How many gentlemen on here have forgotten their anniversary?

Shelly

I was just wondering if it's a guy thing. Today's our anniversary, and it's quite obvious the husband has forgotten. You'd think after 23 years, 18 of which we've been married, he'd remember! I think I'll just keep my mouth shut about it and hide the cards from my family, and see if anything comes to his mind about today. If not, it's going to be a very cold shoulder he'll be getting from me!

23 years is nothing to sneeze at, shelly and if this man of yours is worth his salt, he will realize what a prize he has in you!! In today's day and age of the "easy/quicky divorce", having a partner who will put up with all their little quirks and flaws is someone you want to cherish and honor....NOT forget!!!! From me and the rest of the Croy crew of ennis, montana, we all wish you a very HAPPY anniversary and Congratulations for hanging on this long.....takes a good, strong soul!!!

Don't be too hard on him Shelly. I'm sure he has much on his mind. Giving him the cold shoulder will only create tension and could possibly spoil an otherwise wonderful day.

Go out and fix some fences, check on the cows, and brood over it for a day.

The earlier you show him your gift to him, the more time he has to run into town and pick you up a new syringe, callf pulling chains or the like! Shocked

I've had mine for 21 years. About 15 or 16 of those years, he always would get the date wrong for our anniversary, (two days early Confused

) Never figgered out why he always was early, but least he didnt get in trouble for not rememberin it. He's figgered out now which day it's on, and usually he brings me a card and we go out to eat supper. I'm not the flowers n candy kinda person, so not gettin em dont bother me. One year he decided to do somethin different. But wouldn't tell me what it was, he had my bag packed when I came in from work. I hate , absolutely HATE not knowin where I"m goin. Was a couple hours drive, and I stayed mad until he finally told me where he was takin me. Lil bed breakfast type deal, only ruffin it style, Cabin in the woods, no power, no phone, no tv, nothin, then ridin horses. They cooked us a steak dinner and brought it to our cabin. Was kinda neat. Cept for it bein August, and 110 degrees....thought the skeeters was gonna tote me off that night.

I wasn't sure if I should respond to this, since it was addressed to the 'gentlemen' on the list, but I'll risk it.

My lady and I haven't made it to the first anniversary yet, but I doubt I'll ever remember. There are three kid's birthdays, her birthday, and our anniversary that fall on the 23, 24, or 25th, but different months. Its not disrespect, or that she doesn't count, I'm just not that bright Smile

Do you usually remind him of other important dates? My wife writes all dates on the calendar like dr. appointments, b-days, etc. We remind each other of these dates. Today should not be a test. You have probably tested each other enough times after 23 yrs. Seems that you have a choice in how the day turns out. You can walk around mad all day or you can remind him now while you can still make plans to do something special. It has worked for us, soon to be 35 yrs. Remember that you are celebrating a partnership. When one partner errs, the other helps straighten it out, just like the other times shared when two people go through life together. God bless you both on this special day.

Just a word of advice to the ladies.
If you will start reminding your husband 3 weeks in advance of your anniversary and again at 2 weeks then the last week, mention it a time or two. You will have much fewer anniversaries over looked. After all marriage is a team. Work together.
You might try marking it on his calendar. Or in conversation, Say something like “Can you believe we will have been married for 21 years next Thursday and I still love you more every day.”
Consider it like you would defensive driving. Don’t give something bad a chance to get started. And with the additional time you might even get something mail order and not something from the last second stop at the feed store.
