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 get the disappointment if this kind of thing matters to you. However, does he know it matters to you? Sometimes if you’re not crystal clear, you’re not going to get what you want. FTR, neither FH nor I can remember our dating anniversary.

    Let it go. He may be waiting until when you are celebrating together to buy them for you.

    Aw. That's disappointing. I can understand your sadness. Smiley sad

    Maybe he forgot, since he has class tonight?

    Just ask him about it. Playfully. I wouldn't get too upset or make him feel really bad about it.

    Damn. I just realized my H was on a trip on our dating anniversary last August and we both didn't even remember. We really don't celebrate it. We will celebrate our wedding now. If it really bothers you, maybe ask him in a playful manner. If it doesn't I would just let it go. He probably has a lot going on and forgot. Did you get him anything?

    My parents have been happily married almost 40 years. My mother could probably count on one hand the times my father gave her flowers on their wedding anniversary. There are other things more important in life ...

    @MiniMe sorry if I didn't do a good job writing what I meant. I meant it as a supporting statement to your point. We assume they'll figure it out, regardless of gender, people don't work that way. There was zero malice or intention of being sexist in my statement. I'm sorry you misunderstood and hope I didn't offend you.

    He might surprise you and have the flowers delivered. You never know until after. In the meantime, let it go.

    FH did not send me flowers on my birthday last year, something he does every year, I was a little surprised, but I realized he was crazy busy and it just slipped his mind. This year he sent them and I didn't mention it to him last year. I think cut him some slack, esp. if he is super busy, let it go.

    Make sure you tell him how you feel, communication is key. Nobody has to be right or wrong but you have to communicate and not hold things in <3

    Our dating anniversary is just a,couple weeks from our wedding anniversary. Money is tight now, so I don't expect anything for our next dating anniversary (our 1st after getting married). After marriage, I don't really expect to celebrate our dating anniversary anymore, so I'll just be pleasantly surprised if he does do anything.

    Did you get him flowers? I think it goes both ways, so I'd let it go. We celebrated our dating anniversary pretty bid until the year we were engaged. Oops. I'd suggest going out to eat to celebrate this weekend.

    You're right, you're being petty!
