It was our wedding anniversary yesterday. My husband made no effort what so ever and I didn't even get a card. It's only our 2nd and last year he didn't bother either because we were "too busy" moving. I got him a card a CD and a bottle of wine. I didn't say anything until bed time because I thought he was pretending he hadn't got me anything! When I mentioned it to him he ranted at me is a "lovely children, nice house and car isn't enough" for me?

AIBU in feeling incredibly hurt? Is it normal for men not to make an effort for wedding anniversaries??

I'm sorry to jump on your thread, it was many years ago I know but I'm literally feeling this today and have nowhere to go and noone to talk too. It's our wedding anniversary today too, 2 years cotton, I've had such a good day, got him a lovely card, wrote a nice poem, bought him a cotton t-shirt and a funny book. It's not about cost as we have very little but I can't even explain how hurt and upset at not even being greeted with a card, yesterday he gave me flowers, in a fashion, put them on the side and said happy anniversary, but it's today, he camw home and said your card hasn't arrived which means he didn't get one, I got upset and he called me a spoilt bitch and said I ruin every occasion, he did the same on my birthday, I don't want lavish gifts at all just a card with a bit of romance it's free you can fold a piece of paper and make a card, I can't even explain how hurt I am I don't know how to handle it, I left the house as requested and am sat alone very upset, am I being unreasonable and dramitic? I won't be offended at all with your responses

My husband is the worst . We have been married 4 years today and every year he gets me a surprise and flowers but this year he said he couldn’t be bothered and when I asked him why he said he’ll just get some tomorrow if I’m that bothered . I’m not sure why but this really upset as I expected it this year what should I do ?
