DH seems to have forgot that today is our 12th wedding anniversary, it has just been a horrible day everyone else besides my mother forgot too, if it weren't so darn cold out I think I'd take myself out, lol. I am not even going to bother saying anything to him and just see how long it takes for him to remember. men UGH

Happy Anniversary! Hope he was just waiting to make he surprise really surprising.

Yes, has he remembered, or does he need a boost

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!
I hope he really remembered and is just waiting for you to think he didn't. There a lot of things my husband forgets but our Anniversary, my birthday, and the girls birthdays are dates I never let him forget.

I hope he remembers, too! Happy Anniversary!

Do something nice for yourself today.

Well he still hasn't noticed yesterday was our anniversary and I am really upset about it. I still havent said anything to him. It is not like him to forget these kinds of things. I want to say something to him but I am afraid I'll sound too angry and also I know he is really going to feel bad.

For our 4th or 5th anniversary, my dh didn't say ANYTHING until about 11:30 at night when we were both about to fall asleep and then he said, "Oh, btw happy anniversary." Needless to say, that didn't cut it. I went out the next week and bought a nice set of Corning Ware serving dishes that I'd been wanting. When he asked why I said they were my anniversary gift to myself. He didn't have a clue. We had a nice little argument and let's just say he has NEVER forgotten our anniversary again!!! Does your dh have anything going on right now that might be distracting enough (hard to imagine, I know) that he'd forget? Maybe a subtle (or not so subtle) hint might help? Like a calendar with the day highlighted and circled? I'm sorry he forgot. Big hugs.

I'm so sorry.

Happy Anniversary to you anyway!

I've given up on hubby! Has a whole year to buy a card. If he gets one, it's on the day itself. I just don't let it bother me anymore. He's a good guy otherwise.

By Mommyathome on Sunday, January 18, 2004 - 05:20 pm:

Happy Late Anniversary. I hope he remembers. I'm sure he'll feel bad enough about forgetting that he won't forget again!

Dawn...my DH is the same way with EVERYTHING. He knows my birthday is on the same day every year. He has a whole year to think about it. Well, on the morning of my birthday he's figuring out how much $$ we have so he can get me a gift. Usually, we don't have that much. Then he's upset because he can't get me a nice gift. I always tell him that if he planned ahead and saved a little each month, that he could get me something really nice if he wanted to. Never listens though.

Did he remember yet? I would get out your wedding album or something to jolt his memory.
I would be extremely angry with my husband if he forgot. He would be out purchasing me a nice piece of jewelry....hmmmmmmm maybe I should hope he will forget. LOL
I am routing for you and so sorry that he forgot!

By Babysitbarb on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 02:02 pm:

So sorry he forgot. Im telling you my husband wouldn't have gotten away with this. I don't expect a gift but, I do expect him to take me to dinner and at least remember it.

By Eve on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 02:06 pm:

Next year, I would put up a big sign saying "10 days until Anniversary!" Seriously though, I would talk to him and tell him how you are feeling. If it's the only time he has forgotten, then he might just need a second chance. We all have bad moments. Maybe you can pick another day and still celebrate late!

Happy Be-lated Anniversary! Sorry he forgot.

By Luvn29 on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 05:43 pm:

I really think you should mention this to him and get it out in the open. I'm afraid that if you don't, it will just fester inside and you will end up feeling resentment about it.

I can understand why you are upset, I know I would be.

I hope things work out okay.

By Gammiejoan on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 07:10 pm:

I agree with Adena on this one. I would go ahead and talk with him about it. It's o.k. to let him know how his forgetting made you feel, but try not to get too emotional. Yes, it would have been nice had he remembered, but he sounds like a good husband who for some reason just forgot. I would much rather have a husband who is considerate of me in most every way that matters than to have a husband who overall is not so caring but remembers every special occasion.

Men are too much aren't they? DH couldn't forget ours because it is on his mothers birthday!

By Trisa on Tuesday, January 20, 2004 - 08:10 am:

Sorry he forgot. Happy Anniversary anyway!!

By Vicki on Tuesday, January 20, 2004 - 08:37 am:

Did you get him a card or say anything to him? Maybe he is thinking the same thing you are? That you forgot.

By Yjja123 on Tuesday, January 20, 2004 - 09:15 pm:

Please update us. What happened?

By Tyaustinsma on Tuesday, January 20, 2004 - 10:07 pm:
