Petty. No flowers on our anniversary

Chip, on October 26, 2017 at 7:01 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 55

It's been a minute since I've been on WW but you all are ever wise.

Today is FH and mine dating anniversary. Every year he has gotten me flowers, but not this year. I won't see him today, he has night class, and we won't get to celebrate until next week (if at all). I'm very sentimental about these kinds of things. I'm not upset, just curious because he gets me flowers all the time, but in 5 months this date won't be significant anymore. Do I bring it up or let it go?

    Let it go. You'll have a whole new anniversary in a couple months anyway it's not a big deal in my eyes

    Let it go. Your new anniversary will be more important than today.

    Let it go. You can't live the rest of your life celebrating every 'first' you and the husband have had together. Save it for the truly important ones.

    I would just let it go. My DH went away to a conference this past year for our last dating anniversary. I bought him a card, chocolate, and a jar of dulce de leche and hid it in his checked luggage. I went out and got myself purple basil (allergic to flowers so I normally get fresh herbs from DH/family/friends in lieu of flowers), good wine, stuff to make a nice dinner. I spent the day doing stuff I like and the evening drinking wine and watching horror movies.

    If it really really really weighs on your mind, just mention it to him. Did you do something for him?

    Thanks all!

    I thought I was over thinking it, I've been emotional and super stressed lately. I won't mention it

    Or you could do something special for him. I don't think DH and I ever celebrated our dating anniversary on the actual date, because you know. Life happens.

    I would let it go. The only reason FH and I celebrated our dating anniversary this past May, even though we were already engaged, was because we didn't get to celebrate at all last year. After we get married, we won't be celebrating our dating anniversary anymore

    Get him flowers! Think of how surprised he will be and how touched! He may have forgotten this time, it's true, but what a wonderful opportunity to put him first. Plus if you all are getting married soon, he has probably been stressed with wedding planning, and this is a small thing to forget.

    It's really not a big deal, it's just not like him.

    I did get his favorite cookies from a bakery in the city

    TBH I don’t think you are being over dramatic or whatever. Anniversaries are really important to us too, so if my H didn’t do what he normally does I would probably ask him about it. It doesn’t sound like you are angry, just surprised because this is out of character.

    FWIW my H and I plan to celebrate our date-versaries now that we are married, just like we have for the past 12 years of being together, we will probably just not go crazy like we will for our wedding anniversaries.

    That's a crazy coincidence. We have the same wedding date but, our anniversary date is tomorrow. Have you thought about surprising him with something? Maybe change it up and you get him the flowers this time? Sounds like life is just a bit hectic right now.

    Honestly, we all hold different aspects sentimental to us and I would be bummed if we didn't do anything acknowledge our final dating anniversary before our wedding so no, I don't think you are being dramatic in that sense. I would just take advantage of this opportunity to surprise him.
