Am I overreacting re our first year together?

Go easy on me, I’m 19 and my first relationship.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year in a few days. Leading up to it I’ve remembered all the cute dates we went on each day, and I loved them. For example “aww you took me to the fireworks a year ago today”. He would just say “aw yeah”.

He has barely said anything and I brought this up. We got into an argument, him basically saying “it’s not even been yet, your anniversary is a fucking month long”. He says he doesn’t think the same as me and that I should accept it; that we’re both different.

I just thought he’d feel more sentimental. Bearing in mind he jokily added “one year anniversary” onto his phone calendar quite early on into the relationship, saying “I know we’ll get there” Just a joke but he obviously used to think like this but now he doesnt??

he also barely uses social media but there has been a few times he’s posted a picture of us at the time, now if he does upload anything it’ll take him months and he doesn’t understand why I care so much?

sorry I know this is all trivial and stupid and a non-issue I just wondered if this is anything I should be worried about or if I am in the wrong.

thanks you

Men don’t often remember these things, if he knows the anniversary date then that’s good!

Is he 19 too? He probably thinks about sex, mates, food for a large part of his time. This is not abnormal nor is it wrong! Some people simply aren’t wired for the whole sentimental thing - it actually makes me cringe, though appreciate this is not everyone’s viewpoint. People are different, don’t try and make someone what you want them to be.

Do you feel happy most of the time with him?
