Well, to tell you the whole story, so did I. Once I realized the big day was four days ago, I felt a little guilty.
Then I realized.. This is a freebie, he forgot too, and he doesn't care either! :)
I immediately thought I should make him feel guilty and a little afraid.
So, I texted him and asked if he was EVER going to remember.
When he called, we both laughed.
I am really bad at holidays and celebrations.
One year I forgot my own birthday
One year, I forgot his..
And to this day I am still a little mad he let me forget, I would never do that to him.
lol, I don't know what this says about us, but it kind of defines who we are together.
Am I the only one who hates anniversaries and birthdays?
I also hate them.
Awe, hate is so strong. :)
I don't hate them and the day can be fun, I just hate the expectations around them.
I totally agree. Kind of related - I also don't understand the importance placed on anniversaries of "bad" events either (deaths in the family, etc.)
I couldn't agree more. How depressing is that?
I think that's a better way of putting it. That describes how I feel too. I despise the expectations as if it's such a big deal! I mean come on mate...
Agreed, if I want something, I will just either get it.. or ask for it. No need to stress. I sometimes wonder how society decided that making people who love you feel stress is a good thing.
Maybe it is just that I feel kind of awkward in that way.
Я тоже не люблю свой день рождения я хочу чтоб друзья и родные звонили и встречались чаще ,а не в какую либо дату.
I think it's not about dates, it's day to day
I agree!
@whatsup,
Forgetting the birth days or special days such as anniversary is just normal to men. I have this problem and you know how it's end :D
So, forgetting such kind of special day is just normal for anyone due to this busy life style. Anyway in my case, it raise problems :D And that's the nature of humans :D
Congratz for the anniversary!
Cheers~
Thank you!
It just so happens that today is my 6th wedding anniversary. We're both like ... what're we gonna do ?! maybe order pizza ? We love eachother the whole year round, so there's no oressure to 'make up for lack of' on special occasions as these. I think that's the main goal. To keep loving eachother so that you feel special all year round.
Very true.
I guess I am also guilty of forgetting some important dates in my life. But I guess with the hectic society we are living in, sometimes we just forget as we are always on the move and time passes so fast. As long as the other party is aware that you CARE & LOVE, I am sure that's enough. Maybe the high tech phone can alert us, but we still need to take the time to key into the device first.
@jackpot
And copy it over to the next phone and the next... I am sure I have done this before. ;)
That's funny. I think it means you have such a good relationship that everyday is just as good as the last. Who needs holidays when every one is special?
I been married 23 years and we NEVER remember our anniversary!
I am glad to hear it! This was 26 for us! Congratulations.
that special days wont matter much if you have a great day to day life right?
Tomorow is my girlfriend birthday . I almost forgot , than your post reminded me i have too much money in my poket , so i had to missed somebody's birthday , hahaha .I'm gonna prepare something special , so i don't sleep on the couch tomorow
getting together with one another flaws that what makes good couples
i do not hate them but i also do not like them pretty much
but i do like surprises
i too forget everything loolllll
@whatsup - How many things we have forgotten? It's not a matter, it is a behavior of any human. Therefore, don't worry madam. Have a nice day for you.
+W+
:D
if you both forgot then sounds like u 2 are perfect together.
What have you done now? You are gray again my mouthy friend.
im still slowly raising my rep. I don't have enough steem power to upvote myself out of transparent right now.
:D
haven't done anything to upset anyone for a decent length of time.
surprise surprise.
lol
I'm really bad at getting original gifts each time an anniversary or birthday rolls around - getting something meaningful is getting harder and harder each year!
Me too and so is my husband. We let each other off the hook for that stuff a long time ago. I hate the idea of him being stressed and trying to meet my expectations.
it is really stressful - glad Im not the only one ;)
Definitely worth an upvote and a resteem :)
Cool, thank you! :) I appreciate it.
At least both parties aren't expecting the other one to go out and spend a bunch of money on something completely pointless!
I am terrible at remembering things like this as well!
Agreed. A few weeks back we realized at night we were out of coffee. The next morning he came back to the house to bring me a fresh latte, even though I said I would handle it. That was better than any flowers any other woman ever received. At least it was for me. :)
EXACTLY!!! I surprised my gf with a Green Tea a few times when she was running late and couldn't make one! It was like I hit the lottery! I think she appreciated that more than anything!!
It is a blessing when we forget the expression of love when we exercise it daily.
I like this view. We tell each other in other ways.
I forget thing all the time lol
I am stil forgetting everything :D

never mind it . that is how things going on. beside from that i bet you that is a common problem for all the mens. lol. i think remembering these specials days should be hand over to google calendar or some kind of alert service by the web. this would be a fantastic rather than we always miss it again and again.
Indeed. Just live a happy life together! And whatever happens!
Люди которые не живут датами в праве забыть чью либо дату не чего страшного в этом не вижу.
Everybody does. A good relationship doesn't need anniversaries.
Birthday and Anniversaries are some artificial milestones that are not important in life. At least to me! And it also seems for you :) The real important things in life are friends, caring for others, enjoying the moments, everyday again and again.
i love birthdays and anniversaries they are very special
