Tomorrow DH and I have been together for 10 years, married for 4 of them. He has completely forgotten. Aibu to not remind him so I can be pissed off with him?

Prepare a lovely meal for the two of you and a romantic evening in; that way you have something to enjoy, it will fix the date in his memory, and you will have the moral high ground.

I'd buy him a copy of 'How to do everything and be happy' by Peter Jones. It talks a lot about the importance of having a diary, putting dates in and setting reminders etc.

Just remind him or be prepared to get nothing. My Mum always had to remind my Dad he had a memory like a sieve for this type of thing.

Sorry, what? I thought my DP forgot that we had been together for our first year, he had no money, we couldn't do anything, thought it had completely slipped his mind.
He scraped pennies together to get me a present (as it was my birthday too)
Men aren't useless as much as we worry they are. how do you know he has forgotten? has he simply not mentioned it? because if so, yabu.

I think that once you get married then the wedding anniversary takes priority over the relationship anniversary but if you want to celebrate it just talk to your DH about it, rather than silently simmering with resentment. I tend to discuss these things with my DH, not because he forgets but because we both need to work out what we are doing and when and whether to take time off work. Not everything needs to be a surprise, sometimes it's fun to plan something together. Do you want to spend your anniversary being happy or pissed off?

I hate this game playing too. Why plan on having a miserable day when you don't have to? Just ask him if he wants to do anything for your anniversary tomorrow or on the weekend? Don't purposely make your husband feel bad.

Tell him. I always forget stuff like that and my husband never does. I feel really guilty every time.

All you need to do is say 'I can't believe we've been together 10 years tomorrow, it's gone so quickly'.

I often forget our wedding anniversary and there is no chance I would remember the anniversary of the day we got together. Some of us aren't very interested in dates. It's not a crime..

It's our double anniversary tomorrow too, first date (we knew each other well tho) and wedding Smile

Tell him, don't set him up. Remember why you picked 16/07 in the first place.

Happy anniversary.
