To think it would be nice to have received an anniversary present or card?

[lostboysfallin]

especially since I got nothing for Mothers Day and told him I wasn't very happy about it

We went out for dinner, is that enough?

Did you actually ask / hint heavily you wanted something, these menfolk don't read minds unfortunately.... also what do you normally do, we don't do much maybe nice takeaway and bottle of wine so I wouldn't expect anymore than that (I would be the one reminding him of the date though) :D

He remembered the date, cos we booked restaurant. I didn't hint for a present, not sure I'm that bothered, a card would have been nice. But given the mothers day upset, I would have thought he might have made an effort.

you went out for dinner... that is all we normally do on our anniversary, we dont get each other cards.. dont see the point as it is just a bit of card that gets binned or shoved in a drawer!

what did you get for him?

I got him a card and some chefs knives he wanted

He's really hard to buy for and I was really pleased I got him something

At least you went out for dinner. Do you have children? DD was 1 month old on our first wedding anniversary. We have never celebrated it! Can't be arsed - married for nearly 6 years

Well, you know what to threaten to do with the knives if he doesn't take the hint for future years, don't you?

Do keep hinting! Yes, it would be nicer if he remembered spontaneously, but as he doesn't seem to be that type you'll have to encourage him.

Yeah, DS is 4

Me and DH have been married just shy of 30 years - we never bother apart from "special" anniversarys like our silver.

Saves a load of faffing.

I get handmade joke cards, such as showing two tortoises shagging, but I think he makes them more for his own amusement. I just make him a lasagne and don't expect anything from him. However this year we went out for dinner and he agreed that we could start trying for a baby so that was better than any card.... The agreement that is :)

Hey LostBoys - in same boat (except MD, but that was only just). Anniversary yestre and DH forgot...

Mind you I did too until DM called and said Happy Anniversary... my argument was though that had I been in an office and surrounded by reminders of the date, I wouldn't have.

Can't say a thing really, except you're not alone. Is he Capricorn?

Er no, I'm Capricorn though! What does that mean?

We celebrated our 10 year one last year, DH got a s**g but no card.

Does he know how much it means to you? I'm sure he doesn't, but next year when he does get you one you'll be wondering whether he's just got it because you told him too.

Don't worry about it, you love each other and you had a slap up meal :)
