Does your partner remember your anniversary date?

[MossLover]

Was just reading that thread about the one mumsnetter’s XH emailing her about their wedding date, and there were several replies along the line of “DH and I have been married x years and I don’t/he doesn’t know it”

So it made me curious how many women’s partners do/do no remember their anniversary date. I’d love some poll responses 🙏

Mine can never remember if ours is Dec 20 or 21, nor if our DD’s birthday falls on the 10th or 11th (I have to remind him it’s the winter solstice and the reverse of his birthdate, respectively.) He also claims that a “meetaversary” (the day you two met) isn’t a real thing (possibly as an excuse not to remember that one either, but I want to CELEBRATE dammit!)

Been married 28 years, dh has never once forgotten.
Me on the other hand, I think I've remembered about three times. I know it's in July just not the actual date.

Yes, definitely. The date we started dating (17 years ago) and our wedding anniversary (14 years ago).

To be fair though, I have literally no idea how old Dh is. I know when his birthday is and I could work it out if I had a calculator. But off the top of my head, truly no idea.

Dh had a motorbike accident a couple years ago and gave himself a bad concussion. The paramedics arrived and were asking him all the usual questions to assess for a head injury, like what year is is, what day is today, and they asked him how old he was and he had no idea. The paramedic turned to me for an answer and I literally had no idea either. 😂 I had to try to explain that I really did actually know this confused man I found on the side of the road and I really was married to him, but to be honest, I just don’t know how old he is. It was quite awkward. We must have made a pair. 🤣

48 years still celebrates anniversary of 1st date,

No he doesn't. But then again nor do I. We actually missed our 25th anniversary because we both thought we got married in 1991 when in actual fact it was 1990.

No. And I usually forget too.
we tend to remember a few days late every year and always vow to do better next year, but we never do.

We both usually remember but have forgotten occasionally.

He knows the wedding anniversary. Well I guess he does but as we've got the date engraved in our wedding rings he can always check. Doubt he knows the meeteversary (is that even a real word?) I haven't got a clue closer than month/year and didn't think that was a thing TBH.

It was May. Neither of us ever knows the year or the precise date but it was definitely May as the oilseed rape was in full bloom.

We have been together for over 20 years. We’re not married but my partner knows the date that we me.

Yes, my SIL finds it completely horrifying that neither of us has a clue when our wedding anniversary is. She always texts congratulations because it’s the day after some significant date for her.

We’ve been married 31 yrs and until this year DH had never forgotten the date. This year he did because our anniversary is a couple of days before his dad’s birthday, who has recently passed away, so his head was all over the place. I didn’t mind at all, but he was very upset about it.

Absolutely. Remembers our wedding anniversary AND our day-of-meeting anniversary.

DH remembers our wedding anniversary - we always get token gifts linked to the official anniversary year, and we have a meal out.

He doesn't remember the day we met - I only remember it because I use it as a "memorable date" for certain log ins.

Well I have no idea of our anniversary date so what does that make me? I know the month (I think) but not the year or the date.

We eloped so I suppose that's why. We always wanted a private, no fuss, wedding.

I am not sure whether DH remembers the date, he is vague about this sort of thing. But he always knows when it's coming up (or any of our birthdays) because I always mention it. I am good with dates and our wedding date is one that gets used in a lot of my passwords and pin codes in a variety of forms!

We have our wedding dates tattoo'd on ourselves, as part of pics of our wedding venue. Our first date was 3 days before the date of our wedding (altho obviously several years before) but we only celebrate our wedding anniversary. DW occasionally mentions celebrating our first date anniversary but the wedding seems more fitting to me.

But, if someone asks me, I still have to glance at the tattoo to double check the date 😬
