Petty. No flowers on our anniversary

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...

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?

    I would let it go, my FH hasn't gotten me flowers in almost 2 years. It's not a huge deal.

    Let it go. If it keeps bothering you, talk to him about how you're feeling. I don't like hiding things (especially hurt feelings) from FH, so I would tell him if it hurt you.

    Let it go...today is our 33rd wedding anniversary. You will learn that true love and commitment doesn't mean buying gifts or bringing home flowers. Celebrate that you found each other and be happy with what you have.. Do something nice for him, make him a special meal or tuck a note in a lunch you make for him. Marriage isn't about who brings home the flowers it's about who's there to hold you when you need support, love, thanks, a night off from dishes etc. Best wishes to you both!

    Eat all his damn cookies before he get home. Joking! I understand the disappointment. Will you be able to let this go? Or will this come up 2 months from now when he doesn’t even remember. If it’s the former you can ask why he didn’t get you flowers this year. I don’t think there is anything wrong with asking. Communication is key in a relationship.

    If I had a dollar for every time my FH got my flowers.... I'd have $5.

    Stuff like that doesn't mean much to me though, he shows me his love in other ways.

    Let it go, he loves you, he's marrying you, maybe his mind was somewhere else today or maybe he is waiting til next week you are able to celebrate.

    I don't even remember what mine and FH's dating anniversary is, lol. It sounds like it was important to you, but I think you're approaching it the right way by getting him cookies and trying to not let it stress you.

    In my opinion, you should be able to tell the person you are planning on spending forever with even the smallest of your insecurities. If it bothered you tell him. I think women spend too much time assuming their men will figure it out. Let's be honest, they won't. Their cute and smart... but not that smart Smiley winking I wouldn't make a huge deal about it but still, have a healthy adult conversation.

    Don't let it go if it bothers you! Maybe just mention it. Bet you anything it's a misunderstanding or he just didn't thinj because of stress. If you "let it go" it'll fester and bother you! It doesn't have to be a fight but more of a hey this made me kinda sad and I know it's silly probably but this is how I feel. It's all about communication

    Sounds like it's a busy day for him. Cut him some slack.

    I definitely wouldn't expect flowers every year. My parents still give each other cards on their dating anniversary, but they usually don't do anything special.

    ETA - And if he has class just let him be. Don't add stress over flowers.
