To be a bit miffed that no one has remembered our anniversary?

We only got married 3 years ago! Out of 100 odd guests, only 2 have wished us happy anniversary!! None of our parents have mentioned it, nor the best man/bridesmaids.
DH thinks I'm being daft but I can't help but feel a bit miffed Hmm

Shock! Horror! The world doesn't revolve around you.
Who sends anniversary cards anymore?
YABU.

MrsBrrrr · 09/01/2013 17:49

I agree with your DH, OP, you are being a wee bit daft. It only matters to the two of you.

Happy anniversary, it's a shame you feel slighted, is it the time of year do you think and people are still getting over the holidays? Do you remember other people's significant dates? Maybe adjust expectations next year.

TheCountessOlenska · 09/01/2013 17:53

Oh come on! YABU!

sunnysunnyshine · 09/01/2013 17:53

Yabu!

Hullygully · 09/01/2013 17:54

This is sad but true:

No one gives a shit about your anniversary

I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, just want to save you time and anguish.

Jins · 09/01/2013 17:54

I'm sorry to tell you but it's a completely meaningless occasion to the majority of your friends. They probably enjoyed your wedding though

Do you send anniversary cards to all your friends?

DonderandBlitzen · 09/01/2013 17:55

I've never expected anyone to remember my anniversary other than my husband and have never remembered anyone else's.

VariousBartimaeus · 09/01/2013 17:55

Wow never crossed my mind to remember other peoples anniversary! Yabu

valiumredhead · 09/01/2013 17:56

Wouldn't occur to me to remember anyone else's anniversary - do people really do that?! I just about remember our own!

valiumredhead · 09/01/2013 17:57

And what hully said Grin

YABU. No-one cares!

CloudsAndTrees · 09/01/2013 17:58

Yabu. Anniversaries are for the couple to remember and their grown up children only.

Other people will buy you a card and congratulate you when you throw a party to celebrate a significant anniversary, such as your 25th.

Gintonic · 09/01/2013 17:58

YABU. My friends are lucky if I can remember their birthdays, I'm not going to start sending anniversary cards too.

Ok ok I get the message! I'm being hugely unreasonable it seems! Thanks all Grin

Think of the environment Grin

My parents sent us a card this year, which was nice but not really necessary. Otherwise we just sent cards to each other.

Pizdets · 09/01/2013 18:03

Oooh, snap! We got married 3 years ago today - how did you cope with the snow? I'm afraid I do think you're B a bit U - I tend to judge people by my own standards and I'm awful with this stuff, I don't remember anyone else's!

(although as per pp I did put a little note on Facebook to thank our guests for making so much effort in all the snow 3 years ago and have had some lovely messages back!)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to us!

somuchslimmernow · 09/01/2013 18:08

Agree with eveyone else. It is our silver this year, we are going away for the weekend, just us (and the kids) its our celebration, no one elses.

YouOldSlag · 09/01/2013 18:09

OK, so you've realised YABU. But really you should only ever be miffed if your DH forgets.

We get a card off our Mums but we wouldn't mind if they forgot.

Dawndonna · 09/01/2013 18:10

Sat in a cafe a few years back and dh asked when our anniversary was. I thought a bit and said, Oh, last Sunday, sorry.

We forgot last year, too. Been together twenty years. Just doesn't matter, fact is, we're still here and getting on with it, together.

racingheart · 09/01/2013 18:13

TBH it would never occur to me that anyone would remember our anniversary. DH used to mock me because I forgot it and he never did. Not even my mum has ever remembered it and she organised the wedding.

Let people make a fuss of your silver, gold and ruby weddings. The rest are private celebrations.

Viviennemary · 09/01/2013 18:13

I remember mine usually, but wouldn't expect anybody else to. Especially after three years. If nobody remembers to send you a card on your golden wedding then I think you might have cause for complaint.
