    Default Unbelievable...

    Wow so today is my 14 yr wedding anniversary.....
    My DH FORGOT!!! Yep I taped a card for him on the door and he takes it off and replies..."are you leaving me?!?" opens it and says..."OMG I remembered a week ago then forgot today"
    To add insult to injury he proceeded to ask the following questions:

    Q: How longs it been?!?!
    A: You really just asked me that?
    Q: Oh yeah 14 yrs..we got married in a little church. Is that what it was called? Or what was it called?!? Do YOU remember?
    A: Yes I remember...Graceland wedding chapel
    Q: Like Elvis?!? Did Elvis marry us?
    A: Please go...just go take a nap or something!

    ~ Really was I there alone? He really asked these questions? Wow that MY hubby! Gotta love him.

    I hope the rest of the day went better or that he made it up to you somehow!

    I can relate to an extent. My husband is a stereotypical mathematician in this respect. He has never claimed the ability to remember even his own age once he got past 20. And it is true. He remembers eventful things like the brother whose birthday is exactly four weeks after but he can't remember other birthdays or even ages, including for his own immediate family and children.

    Oh gosh, what a bummer! Try not to be too hard on the poor guy. I forget my anniversary pretty much every year. I'll do just like your husband did, remember a week or two before the day, make a mental note to do something special, then forget all about it.

    I don't even know for certain what day it is on. I have to ask my husband every year.

    Happy anniversary!

    Aww, don't be too hard on him!

    I'm usually good about remembering important dates but I managed to forget DH's birthday this year. His birthday was a week after college started and it was so hectic for me I forgot!! Luckily for me he was a good sport about it

    end of the world is evidently approaching.”

    Well Happy Anniversary to you (be it a day late)
    Congratulations.


    Any more, all we do is give each other a card. I had a card for my husband this summer and when he opened it he said, "Oh I guess it is our anniversary" and NO he did not have a card for me.

    Well I was hoping for, at least a card later in the day when he got home from work. No, there was no card. None, zip, nada.

    We both seem to have gotten into the habit of forgetting important dates. So..... We will just leave it at that.

    I dunno...maybe it's a function of time or age, but it never bothers me if someone doesn't remember a "special" date. For me, what has become important is the day-to-day relationship I have with people. However, that's just me and we are all different. In any event, Happy Anniversary.

    What you might do for next year is to plan something for the two of you. Have a date night out, even if you just go for coffee and dessert and some hand-holding in public (woo hoo!).

    Of course, the last time I did something like that for my man, his wife got really, really mad! (OK...just kidding about that part).

    What's really important? The date you got married? Or the 14 years that have followed?
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Dh and I will be married 20 years in December and its a nonevent these days. We usually just say "Hey btw Happy Anniversary" . Its to close to Christmas and there is nothing really to get each other . Any nugget of an idea we hoard until Christmas and then his bday is in Jan. and mine is in March so no gifts . Generally not even a card. No big deal here really. My bil and sil always go away for their anniversary and it gives me stomach pains thinking about the wasted money. lol. I hope your dh at least came through with a card yesterday. Happy Anniversary!
